Exclude System entries with “ls” or “find”












1














Compare Cygwin:



$ ls -1 -N /cygdrive/c
$Recycle.Bin
cygwin64
Documents and Settings
pagefile.sys
PerfLogs
Program Files
Program Files (x86)
ProgramData
Recovery
System Volume Information
Users
Windows


With Command Prompt:



> dir /A:-S C:
2018-12-08 10:14 AM <DIR> cygwin64
2009-07-13 09:20 PM <DIR> PerfLogs
2018-12-15 06:05 PM <DIR> Program Files
2018-12-15 05:21 PM <DIR> Program Files (x86)
2018-10-31 06:07 PM <DIR> ProgramData
2018-11-18 01:10 AM <DIR> Users
2018-11-09 08:18 AM <DIR> Windows


as can be seen, Command Prompt has a way to exclude System items. Does Cygwin
have some way to do this, perhaps with "ls" or "find"?
