manis a command in linux to bring up the manuals/docshttps://www.geeksforgeeks.org/man-command-in-linux-with-examples/
If you're on a linux distro, you could type:
man lswhich would fetch you the manual forls, which lists files and dirs for you. However, I think it's more common for users to usels --helpinstead, which would show the same manual information.(sorry if you already knew this, but it looked almost like you were asking what this means and then a bunch of linux users just joked around without explaining anything XD)
You are a good and kind person.
