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!
