DESCRIPTION

       The list directory command displays a list of all the directories whose names match the specified directory name.  The last simple name can

       You must have read permission to the parent directory.  If you use a with attribute-name = attribute-value clause in the command, you  also
       need read or test permission to the selected directories.
