If you’re looking to display all files in a given directory and all its sub-directories, including hidden files, which of the following Linux command would you use?

• ls -aR
• ls -l
• ls-a
• ls -R 

 

EXPLANATION

The Bash command "ls" lists all information about a given file. In this case, it’s modified by "-aR" to maintain groups of files as a single archive file, which displays everything in a given file. By itself, this command will show you everything on your hard disk (and we mean everything).
