command to show only dirs in current dir?


As above, really.

Is there an option for ls (or an equivalent) to let me list only the directories? I've had a look at man ls and can't find anything.

In MS-DOS it was DIR /AD.

All i can find on the intarweb is other people asking the same question.

I have this alias:

Code:
alias lsd="ls -la | grep ^d"
grep ^d means only display lines beginning with d

ls|grep '/'|grep -v '^$'>a.txt

or
ls|grep '/'|grep -v '^$'|cat

spose i should explain mine too
ls (list dah you can whatever you want here)
|grep '/' (i chose / since all directories hidden or not have a / at the end.)

|grep -v '^$' (only displays figures containing /


|cat last one can be cat ( display on screen or > output to text file)
