How to list only hidden files in UNIX?

ls -1A | grep '^\.'

Eg:


[vjsujay@cheetah:/home/vjsujay]#ls -1A | grep '^\.'
.profile
.recently-used
.sh_history
.softwareupdate
.ssh
[vjsujay@cheetah:/home/vjsujay]#

[vjsujay@cheetah:/home/vjsujay]#ls -1a | grep '^\.'

.

..

.profile

.recently-used

.sh_history

.softwareupdate

.ssh

[vjsujay@cheetah:/home/vjsujay]#

FYI.

-a will list hidden files along with default directories single dot(.) and double-dot(..)
-A will list hidden files without single dot and double dot
