Many *nixen define ll as an alias for 'ls -l', so if "ll"
doesn't work
on your system, use "ls -l" instead.
Aliases have no exact equivalent in Windows. The shell treats the alias
name as a command. It replaces the name with its expansion and then
appends the command line arguments, so "ll mydir" becomes "ls -l
mydir".
Finally, the expanded result is executed.
The command "alias" lists the currently defined aliases. "man
alias"
shows how to write your own. In Fedora default aliases are defined
in /etc/profile.d/colorls.sh for the sh and bash shells and
in /etc/profile.d/colorls.csh for the C shell.
