If you don't see an option for this in your ls man page or from 'ls
--help', you'll need to use a pipe or create a shell alias. I've not seen
an option for it, but it isn't really much more typing to pipe to grep:

ls -la | grep ^d

where grep only prints the lines that begin with a 'd'.

Once again, the pipe method:

ls -F | grep /$

Of course, many other approaches could give the same output, but it doesn't
get much simpler than that...
