SYNOPSIS
lc [
DESCRIPTION
lc is an alternative to the UNIX ls command and the Windows dir command. It distinguishes its output by type -- generally files or directories. On Windows systems, hidden and read-only files and directories are shown separately. On UNIX and POSIX-compliant systems, device-special files are also shown separately. lc displays names in columns, sorted horizontally.
Options
-a -
displays all files and directories including those whose names begin with ".". File and directory names beginning with . are not usually shown.
-d -
displays directories only.
-f -
displays files only.
-n -
suppresses all output. This is useful when you only want to use the exit status.
-1 -
displays one file per line.
DIAGNOSTICS
Possible exit status values are:
- 0
-
lc successfully found files under the specified directory and displayed their names.
- 1 directory
-
contains no files or subdirectories. For example, you can use the option combination
-nd to determine if a directory has any subdirectories. - 2
-
Failure because of an invalid command line option or insufficient memory.
Under rare conditions, lc cannot identify the type of a file. Such files are listed under the category **GOK**.
PORTABILITY
