Linux – list only directories

on Feb 17, 2016

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
