Linux – list only directories

Sometimes we need to list only directories on Linux (or any other unix). Here are some approaches.

1. List directories using ls and shell wildcard

   $ ls -d */
   dir1/	dir2/
   

2. List using ls -l and egrep

   $ ls -l | egrep "^d"
   drwxrwxr-x  2 user1  staff  68 Feb 17 22:55 dir1
   drwxrwxr-x  2 user1  staff  68 Feb 17 22:55 dir2
