rf

rf (from Latin refero — to bring back/report/list) lists directory contents. It is the core Vesper Linux replacement for GNU ls.

Usage

rf [-a] [-1] [-F] [-l] [-h] [--color=MODE] [DIR...]

Flags

  • -a — do not ignore entries starting with . (include hidden files).
  • -1 — list one file per line.
  • -F — append indicator (/ for directories, * for executables).
  • -l — long listing format flag (reserved for compatibility for now).
  • -h — human-readable sizes flag (reserved for compatibility for now).
  • --color — set colorization mode (auto, always, never).

Examples

List contents of the current directory:

rf

List all files including hidden entries in a single column:

rf -a -1

Show indicators for directories and executables:

rf -F /usr/bin

List contents of multiple directories:

rf src/ include/
