Formatted Directory Listing Question
Greetings to you. I have a quick question for the community today
I'm interested in the following format for recursive output from a command such as "ls" or "dir" when pointed to a folder:
Quote:
/.
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/share
/usr/share/man
/usr/share/man/man1
/usr/share/man/man1/setfacl.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/chacl.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/getfacl.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man5
/usr/share/man/man5/acl.5.gz
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/acl
/usr/share/doc/acl/PORTING
/usr/share/doc/acl/README
/usr/share/doc/acl/copyright
/bin
/bin/getfacl
/bin/setfacl
/bin/chacl
/usr/bin/getfacl
/usr/bin/setfacl
/usr/bin/chacl
/usr/share/doc/acl/changelog.Debian.gz
...but there doesn't seem to be coverage for this type of output formatting in the manpages.
Maybe this is something "everyone just knows," and I missed the meeting?
Any ideas as to how this would look/work?
Thanks!

The other options that can be used with whereis are as follows: Terminates the last directory list and signals the start of program names.
Used with other options to indicate when there is no file for program in the default or specified directory or directories (source, binary,
or reference page).
DESCRIPTION
The whereis program locates source, binary, and reference pages for the specified programs. When looking for a match, the program names
are stripped of leading pathname components and any trailing extensions of the form (for example, s. resulting from the use of the Source

The default directories searched by the whereis command are as follows: /etc /etc/nls /sbin /usr/bin /usr/lbin /usr/lbin/spell /usr/ccs/lib

EXAMPLES
To find files matching cat in the default source, binary, and reference directories, enter: whereis cat To search for reference pages for
app13 in the directory /usr/local/man, enter: whereis -M /usr/local/man -f -f appl3 To find the programs in /usr/bin that do not have ref-
erence pages in /usr/share/man/man1 with source files in /usr/src/cmd, enter: whereis -u -M /usr/share/man/man1
-S /usr/src/cmd -f /usr/bin/* To find which files in the current directory either have no reference pages in the default reference
