Hi,

Could somebody explain me how exactly "ls" command work in Unix/Linux?

When we type "ls" command in linux shell, what does process/procedure work with linux library or linux kernel, and how exactly does it show directory information to the standard output (1)?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Daniel Song
