Basically I want do the following:
ls -l[+someflags]
(or by some other means) that will only display files that are symbolic links
so the output would look
-rw-r--r-- 1 username grp size date-time filename -> somedir
-rw-r--r-- 1 username grp size date-time filename2 -> somsdfsdf
etc.
For example,
to show only directories I have an alias:
alias lsd 'ls -l | grep ^d'
I wonder how to display only hidden files or only hidden directories?
I have the following solution, however it doesn't display the output in color :(
ls -ltra | grep '\->'
Find all the symbolic links in a directory:
ls -l `find /usr/bin -maxdepth 1 -type l -print`
For the listing of hidden files:
ls -ald .*
