The only use I've *ever* found for the -d option is as a modifier to 'ls
-l', when I want to see the permissions/ownership of a directory, but not
the full listing of everything in the directory. (Which you could also do
by 'ls -l' on the parent directory and piping to grep, but it saves a few
keystrokes.)
E.g.,
dcf>$ ls -dl sourweb/
drwxr-xr-x 3 dcf users 4096 Dec 31 2005 sourweb/
dcf>$ ls -l sourweb/
total 656K
-rw-r--r-- 1 dcf users 4027 May 7 2000 3.27.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 dcf users 4602 May 7 2000 5.8.txt

.etc
