hello dear linux-experts

i want to have the listing of some directories

i have set up a http-server in opensuse 12.3

i want to have a listing

but - if i do a ls -R in

martin@linux-70ce:/srv> ls -R

i get a bunch of information - too much - see

http://pastebin.com/CNbxBmd6

see the explanation - here

Code:

 If you want a recursive directory listing in Unix, one of the following may be useful:
ls -R 	Not all versions of ls have -R
find . -print 	Should work everywhere
du -a . 	Shows you both the name and size

what can i do to get only the overview on the directories in the forlder svr

love to hear frrom you
say

Hi Say,

If you only want to see directories, find is probably the best command:

Code:

find /srv -type d

"-type d" is (of course) directory. It's worth getting to know find - it's a very versatile command.

You could also do

Code:

ls -d /srv/*/

The trailing slash means it will only print directories, and the -d flag means it will only print the directory names, rather than their contents.

hello

what bout the aimed listing of all the directories of /home

is this possible?

note: what robhogg suggested is quite hard to do: the following code

Quote:

find /srv -type d

gives back a bunch of data - it gives back ( a ) terrible much of "overhead.... "

ls -d /home/*/

An alternative might be 'tree -d'. You can limit the depth of the tree with the -L option.
