You might look into the 'tree(1)' command. It's a third party package
that can be installed as:
# pkg_add -r tree
It has lots of flags to list files in various ways. By default it
lists all files in a tree-like format like this:
tree -a /etc
.
|-- X11
|-- aliases -> mail/aliases
|-- amd.map
|-- apmd.conf
|-- auth.conf
|-- bluetooth
| |-- hcsecd.conf
| |-- hosts
| `-- protocols
|-- crontab
... and so on...
You can also list files with full paths without indents and such. See
man tree after its installed. Another example:
tree -aif /etc
/etc
/etc/X11
/etc/aliases -> mail/aliases
/etc/amd.map
/etc/apmd.conf
/etc/auth.conf
/etc/bluetooth
/etc/bluetooth/hcsecd.conf
/etc/bluetooth/hosts
/etc/bluetooth/protocols
There's also switches for how to handle symbolic links and staying on
one file system, depth limits, file limits, etc.
