listing of directories with ls - R - produces an overhead of data

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.... "

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