Play with this:
-------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/zsh
#
# list CWD contents, describing what they are.
#
# 8May2005 s. keeling 0001 start.
# ----------------------------------------------------
#
for f in ./.?*; do
if [ -L "${f}" ]; then
echo "link: ${f}"
elif [ -d "${f}" ]; then
echo "dir: ${f}"
elif [ -f "${f}" ]; then
echo "real file: ${f}"
else
echo "other: ${f}"
fi
done
