Command ls

Display Domain Directory

The representation of the Domain Directory is dependent on the number of the domains to be displayed. The switchover between the different display modes is depended via the number of the domains to be displayed. Following modes are possibly:

  • Full specified
    Display of the full specified domain with a link to this domain
    and an indicator for a available HTML page in the domain with a link to this page
    and command ls list the directory of the domain
  • Compact
    The visualization is made out per domain in a line.
    If only one entry exists for a domain, then the full specified Domain is displayed.

Beyond this only a sorted list is reported of the domains.

The display of the list is restricted to the presetting of a filter Filtering of domain directory at long lists.

Note:

The term Domain is used as short name for Secondary-Level Domain. We otherwise describe this as a full specified domain. At this we assume per default the protocol HTTP.

Display Directory

The number of listed HTML files in a Directory is configurable. The HTML files are listed with their title and description as well as approx. 200 characters text. An indicator is additional activating. The indicator displays, whether HTML pages are available in a sub-directory.

Sidebar

The command ls can be alternatively displayed also in a sidebar of the browser.

For the browser Netscape, Mozilla or Opera see Command ls/Sidebar.

The Sidebar corresponds to the search window of the MS Internet Explorer. The URL needed for this has to be entered in.
