That will of course recurse down the whole directory tree. Eg it tells how
many files in the directory, and all of the subdirectories.
If you just want the number of entries in the current directory ls|wc
If you just want just the files the immediate directory
find /name/of/directory -maxdepth 1 -type f |wc
etc.
