Re: Simple sh or alias to list directories

[Erik Steffl <steffl@bigfoot.com>]

  note that it won't list links to directories, you might want to use
-follow see below:

panther:~/rrr>l
total 6
drwxr-xr-x   2 esteffl  pbidev       512 Oct 17 09:15 dir
lrwxrwxrwx   1 esteffl  pbidev         3 Oct 17 09:15 dir.link -> dir
-rw-r--r--   1 esteffl  pbidev        14 Oct 17 09:15 file.txt
panther:~/rrr>find . -type d -print
.
./dir
panther:~/rrr>find . -follow -type d -print
.
./dir
./dir.link
panther:~/rrr>

  (I don't use -maxdepth in examples because it does not work on solaris
that we have here, while we're at it does anybody know why does solaris
have almost unusable utilities? grep that does not support -A -B -C
etc... they ship at least two set of utilities but even the better set
is quite bad... is it the compatibility? inertia?)
