help ldir

Title

ldir Clickable list of folder names

Syntax

ldir
[ stub ]
[ ,
hidden
]

Description

ldir lists the names of folders or directories in compact
form and allow to click on the names to make it the working directory.

If stub is specified, only folders with names containing
stub are listed.

If Nick Winter's user written program fastcd has been used
to define bookmarks, those bookmarks are also shown. In addition ldir
shows the clickable link [+] for adding the current working directory
to the list of bookmarks. If the current working directory is already
bookmarked the clickable link [-] can be used to remove it from the
list of bookmarks.

The list of foldernames is returned in r(folders), so long as
that is not empty.

Options

hidden By default, ldir does not list folder names
starting with "."; these are the so called "hidden" folders on
Linux/UNIX systems. The option hidden lists these folders as
well.

Example(s)

. ldir
