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
