How to list directories names but not their contents, in *N*X?

If I do a simple ls specifying a filename pattern, like ls A*, for directories that match the pattern, it will enter the directory and give the full listing, but how could I get just the listing for ./ and only the names of the directories inside, but not their contents?

You can try this command:

ls -d A*/

If you need to do it recursively you could use

find . -type d -name A\*

ls -l | grep '^d' will list only directories in the '.' current directory
