# Listing Files In IEx
When you start an IEx session, you do so in the context of some directory --
the current working directory. This context can be important if you need to
do something like import a file. In fact, you may want to know what files
are available in the current working directory.
You can list them all out within IEx using `ls/0`.
```elixir
iex(1)> ls()
.git .gitignore README.md _build assets config
deps lib mix.exs mix.lock priv test
tmp
```
You can also list the contents of some other specific directory by naming it
when invoking `ls/1`.
See `h()` within IEx for more details.
