Listing only directories in UNIX

Question

I want to list only the directories in specified path (ls doesn\'t have such option). Also, can this be done with a single line command?

Answer 1

use this to get a list of directory

ls -d */ | sed -e "s/\///g"

Answer 2

du -d1 is perhaps the shortest option. (As long as you don't need to pipe the input to another command.)
