Have you tried to read any documentation? Have you experimented? Have
you made ANY effort at all before posting to Usenet?

It doesn't. It just prints its arguments.

Unless the list of arguments is a list of directories for ls to
list the content of.

My first help on man page.

You could pipe it through grep:
$ ls -1 | egrep "moonhkt(\.[0-9]{8,8})?$"
moonhkt
moonhkt.20100405
moonhkt.20100406

Make a small function
$ function lsb { ls -1 | egrep "$1(\.[0-9]{8,8})?$"; }
$ lsb moonhkt.ksh
moonhkt.ksh
moonhkt.ksh.20100406

True, but in many cases I would use:

printf "%s\n" dir1/* dir2/* ...
