ls -help not accurate

[John Bowling]

ls -d
returns only '.'
Per your faq this is the designed in operation

ls --help
does not reflect that operation:

  -d, --directory            list directory entries instead of contents,
                               and do not dereference symbolic links

For that result it should read
  -d, --directory            lists base directory entry only instead of
contents,

There is no way to get directory entries  (plural or multiple levels)
with just -d
making that description of -d very inaccurate.

Thanks, John
