Use ls
-R (recursive) to display the
contents of a directory and all of its subdirectories. Recursive means to do again and again. This option is useful if you want
to see all directories, subdirectories and their contents for a
particular part of the directory tree. If this is done at a high level
in the directory structure, the output can be substantial.
Note: The
-R option is an upper case R.
The R (or sometimes r) option is commonly used with many UNIX commands
to indicate a recursive action. Recursive generally refers to the
contents of a directory and all of its subdirectories.
