          The -d option says:



          -d, --directory
          
       list directories themselves, not their contents


          This is showing you . because that is your current directory. This could be used in combination with -l if you simply wanted to see the permissions/ownership of the directory, among other things.

            The -d switch lists the directory itself and not the contents. In your case, that means the current directory. If you run ls -ld, it will show the permissions, ownership, last changed time, etc of the current directory.



            If you run ls -d another_directory then it will show the same for whatever directory you specify.

                              Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

                              Image
                              6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w
