wow you all are making this harder then it needs to be to list ONLY directories in a given path use the following ls, i just turn it into an alias:

Code:

alias dird='/bin/ls -laFp | grep /'

works like a charm.

Indeed, alias is useful.

But, the above also lists symbolic links for absolute paths which are not directories.
For example,

Code:

ln -s /path path
ls -laFp|grep /

lists "path -> /path".
To suppress it, you can

Code:

ls -laFp | grep /$

But I prefer

Code:

ls -la|grep ^d

Or to suppress . and .. ,

Code:

ls -lA|grep ^d

Or

Code:

find -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d

You can read manual of ls or find by

Code:

man ls
man find
