I have a Debian 12 setup running on a desktop PC.

I am trying to list my PDF files using the ls command.

I ran

ls *.pdf

and received the error message

Invalid option '--K'

Check for an alias for "ls". Try \ls *pdf

No files were listed.

I subsequently ran other ls commands such as

ls *.doc

ls *.txt

and those commands ran as expected.

Why are my PDF files not listed ?
