Would someone kindly explain when to use the "ls -d" command? The --help notes this would list the directory entries - which puzzles me a bit because I had never thought of there may be more than one! Seems I have some lack in basic knowledge on this too.
Then, when wanting ls only to plot the names of the subdirectories in the current directory, I key "ls -F|grep" or "ls -p|grep". Is this the only way, and why do the -p and -F options do not seem to differ in any way? Additionaly when should I use "fgrep" - what are "fixed strings"?
