Which command displays file names only and no additional information?

The ls -a flag lists all files including hidden files (those prefixed with a dot) but does not enable long format output, so only file names are shown with no permissions, timestamps, or size information. Without the -l flag, ls output remains a simple name listing regardless of other flags like -a.

The -l and -h flags together produce long format output with human-readable sizes, showing permissions, ownership, size, and timestamps.

The -l flag enables long format output, displaying detailed metadata columns such as permissions, link count, owner, group, size, and modification date.

Combining -a, -l, and -h produces long format output for all files including hidden ones, showing full metadata alongside each file name.

The -n flag is a variant of long format (-l) that displays numeric UID and GID values instead of names, still showing all detail columns.
