In Linux, the common command to list all files is ls. This command is used to display all files and subdirectories in the current directory. By default, the ls command will list all files and directories in alphabetical order. Different options can be used to change its behavior, for example:

ls -a：显示所有文件，包括以`.`开头的隐藏文件；

ls -l：以详细列表形式显示文件和目录的权限、所有者、大小等信息；

ls -h：在`-l`选项的基础上，以易读的方式显示文件和目录的大小；

ls -R：递归显示当前目录下的所有文件和子目录；

ls -t：按照修改时间的顺序列出文件；

ls -S：按照文件大小的顺序列出文件。

These are just some common options for the ls command, there are many others that can be used as needed. You can use the man ls command to view the complete documentation for the ls command.
