Moved from Portage & Programming to Off the Wall.
Not about gentoo, so moved here.
list directories in current dir: ls -d */
list directories in /etc/: ls -d /etc/*/

The previously listed find command will list both hidden, and visible, directories. Your command will only list the non-hidden ones. Just an FYI to the OP.  |

You can run, but you can't hide from the ban kitty.

make it ls -la | grep ^dr so it only matches in the beginning of the line.

| Proof: | $ touch bankitty # (probably bad idea)
$ find bankitty
bankitty
$ who < bankitty

Try it yourself and see: ban kitty beats all.

Thanks all!
This is why I love Gentoo.
Is exactly what I was looking for and the least amount of typing.
And
Is a handy bonus.[/code]

Speaking of saving typing, I've always found that ls is one of my favorite unix commands to make alias out of.
Dunno if thats helpful or at all relevent but there it is. |

setopt dotglob
ls -d **/*/
Only works in zsh though (bash doesn't support dotglobbing with a recursive glob AFAIK). |

Only in linux would there be 64 ways to list only the directories.
