HI Sahnazurs,

to know about the directory(not the content of the directory ,we use "-d" option with "ls" comand.
but using ls with directory without the -d option which will give the content of the directory(what are the files or directory present inside the given directory).

when we use only ls which take the current directory as default argument so we see the files or directory existed in it( without getting its own information).

Hope it may clear your doubt.
