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.

(Called implictly by "++" overloading). skip_to <termpos> Skip the iterator to term position termpos, or the first term position after termpos if termpos isn't in the list of term positions being iterated. equal <term> Checks if a term is the same as this term. Also overloaded to the "eq" and "==" operators. nequal <term> Checks if a term is different from this term. Also overloaded to the "ne" and "!=" operators. get_termpos Return the term position the iterator is currently on. Also implemented as conversion to an integer. get_description Return a description of this object. Also implemented as stringification. SEE ALSO
