How to view/list only directories in Linux?

This is a small post for Linux new babies. Viewing folders can be achieved by two ways in linux/unix

  1. Through ls command
  2. Through find command

With ls we have to use grep to get the directory listings..

Ls –l | grep ^d

Example

[root@test surendra_a]# ls -l | grep ^d

Through find command

find . -type d

The above command will show you all the file types which are directories in present working directory.
