Description

The "ls" command with no object argument lists the name of every object in the database (in alphabetical order) except for those marked as hidden with the hide command. If the object argument is supplied, only those objects are listed. The object argument may include regular expressions. If the -A option is used, then the arguments are expected to be a list of attribute name/value pairs, and objects having attributes that match the provided list are listed. By default, an object must match all the specified attributes in order to be listed; however, the -o flag indicates that an object matching at least one attribute name/value pair should be listed. See the attr command for information on how to set or get attributes. Regular expressions are not supported for attributes.

mged> ls -p wheel*
