SYNOPSIS

lt [options] [directory]

PARAMETERS

any `tree` command parameter
    Because lt is an alias, the parameters are the parameters of the `tree` command that is running behind the scene.

any `ls` command parameter
    Because lt is an alias, the parameters are the parameters of the `ls` command that is running behind the scene.

DESCRIPTION

The `lt` command is not a standard Linux utility. It is often an alias or a shell script that combines `ls` with the `tree` command, enhanced with color output, aiming to provide a visually appealing directory listing in a tree-like format. Its exact behavior depends on the specific implementation defined in the user's shell configuration (e.g., .bashrc, .zshrc). Usually, it helps to quickly visualize the directory structure in a human-readable way, showing subdirectories and files hierarchically, instead of just listing them flatly. Often, it uses `--color=auto` and other `ls` command parameters for better output. It's beneficial for navigating complex file systems and understanding their organization quickly.

CAVEATS

The exact behavior of `lt` varies depending on how it's defined as an alias or script. It relies on `ls` and `tree` being installed. Without those command the lt command would fail.

IMPLEMENTATION

lt is not a standard Linux command, so there is no universal implementation. It is a custom alias or script typically defined in a user's shell configuration file.

Example aliases:
alias lt='ls -l --color=auto | less'
alias lt='tree --color -C'

TROUBLESHOOTING

If `lt` is not working as expected, check the following:
1. Is `lt` defined as an alias? Use `alias lt` in your shell to see its definition.
2. Are `ls` and `tree` installed? Use `which ls` and `which tree` to verify.
3. Does the definition of `lt` contain errors (typos, incorrect paths, etc.)?
