ls stands for "list," and is used to view what's in a directory

$ ls

$ ls Documents
homework1.txt todolist.txt SPICEmanual.pdf

Some good variations on this to know are "ls -a", which will show you hidden files that start with "." or "..", and "ls -la", which will show you permissions on your files and directories.
