'ls' command alternatives

Just keep aside as a handy option, if at all your system has gone so bad and your ls command itself is not working - here is this crude method of displaying directory contents by using echo which is a shell built-in and not an executable:

[root@DebaTestBox /]# echo *
bin boot dev etc home lib lost+found media misc
mnt net opt proc root sbin selinux srv sys tmp usr var

cd too a shell built-in, that can also be used to display the same.

All the best -
