Which option of the ls command displays the recursive listings of files and directories?
ls -R gives a recursive listing, including the contents of all subdirectories and their subdirectories and so on. ls -t lists the files in order of the time when they were last modified (newest first) rather than in alphabetical order.
How do you find a pattern in all subdirectories?
To Search Subdirectories To include all subdirectories in a search, add the -r operator to the grep command. This command prints the matches for all files in the current directory, subdirectories, and the exact path with the filename.

Why is LS implemented with a recursive technique?
Why it makes sense for ls to be implemented with a recursive technique: FOLDOC defines recursion as: When a function (or procedure) calls itself. Such a function is called “recursive”. If the call is via one or more other functions then this group of functions are called “mutually recursive”.
Why is LS-R called ” recursive listing ” in Ubuntu?
Examining the source code (that may not be the exact version on your Ubuntu system) reveals that it checks its internal data structure G.all_fmt, where it stores what options it has been invoked with:
How to run LS recursively with wildcards?
@phuclv has two good options. When I need to do similar, I typically pipe the output of ls to grep like this: this sends the output of ls to the input of grep instead of outputting to stdout, and grep then outputs only the lines that contain at least one match for the regular expression.
Are there any commands with LS without recursion?
But there would be no recursion beyond this level. for in commands with ls output are risky. Thanks for contributing an answer to Unix & Linux Stack Exchange! Please be sure to answer the question.
