Linux – list only directories

on

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
