How to view/list only directories in Linux

This is a small post for Linux beginners . 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
Through find command
find . -type d

Example

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

d——— 2 root root 4096 Sep 8 09:54 HTWFAIP

drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 27 12:30 LinuxCBT – RHEL5

drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 12 16:40 Software

Through find command

#find . -type d

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