ls - Directory contents

Syntax

ls

Graphical Interface

As an alternative to the ls function, you can use the Current Directory browser to view directory contents.

Description

ls lists the contents of the current directory. On UNIX^[1] platforms, ls returns a character row vector of file names separated by tab and space characters. On Microsoft Windows platforms, ls returns an m-by-n character array of file names, where m is the number of file names and n is the number of characters in the longest file name found. File names shorter than n characters are padded with space characters.

On UNIX platforms, you can pass any flags to ls that your operating system supports.
