ls -d
returns only '.'
Per your faq this is the designed in operation
ls --help
does not reflect that operation:
-d, --directory list directory entries instead of contents,
and do not dereference symbolic links
For that result it should read
-d, --directory lists base directory entry only instead of
contents,
There is no way to get directory entries (plural or multiple levels)
with just -d
making that description of -d very inaccurate.
Thanks, John
