Navigating directories with * / . and ..
I would be very happy (after a lot of fruitless searching) if someone could explain the meaning of these variations on the ls command:
ls */
ls */.
ls */./
I understand the basic use of ls already eg ls -al but am wanting to list from different points in the file structure without having to leave the directory I am in and my experimenting has left me confused.
Also in the examples above what is the correct term for the characters after the "ls"? Are they correctly called operators? Or is that the wrong term?
Thanks.

term_send
term::send(n) Terminal control term::send(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
term::send - General output to terminals
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.4
package require term::send ?0.1?
::term::send::wrch chan str
::term::send::wr str
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This package provides the most primitive commands for sending characters to a terminal. They are in essence convenient wrappers around the
builtin command puts.
::term::send::wrch chan str
Send the text str to the channel specified by the handle chan. In contrast to the builtin command puts this command does not termi-
nate the string with a line terminator. It also forces an flush of Tcl internal and OS buffers to ensure that the characters are
processed immediately.
::term::send::wr str
This convenience command is like ::term::send::wrch, except that the destination channel is fixed to stdout.
