A directory listing is evidence about names, ownership, modes and size. A dot at the start of a name hides it from an ordinary ls display, but it doesn't make it private. Combine the long and all options when checking a configuration folder. Read each row before assuming a missing screen entry means a missing file. The hidden route file matters just as much as the visible manifest.
In ls -la, a row beginning with d is a directory; a dash marks a regular file. The next nine characters describe access permissions. Read the owner and filename on the same row so you don't attach one file's mode to another. Use the listing to choose the exact path for a later command.
