@DeFu well yes but when you do ls . you are passing '.' as an argument to 'ls'; isn't that what you asked? It functions the same because by default ls lists the current directory, and . is the current directory. But you are passing it to the command, for sure.

@DeFu you pass the dot as a dot, for example: ls .
