# The `dir` command
The `dir` command lists the contents of a directory(_the current directory by default_). **It differs from ls command in the format of listing the content**. By default, the dir command lists the files and folders in columns, sorted vertically and special characters are represented by backslash escape sequences.
### Syntax:
```[linux]
dir [OPTIONS] [FILE]
```
### Examples:
1. To list files in the current directory:
```[linux]
dir
```
2. To list even the hidden files in the current directory:
```[linux]
dir -a
```
3. To list the content with detailed information for each entry
```[linux]
dir -l
```
