1 4.11 Mdir
1 =========
1 
1 The `mdir' command is used to display an MS-DOS directory. Its syntax
1 is:
1 
1    `mdir' [`-/'] [`-f'] [`-w'] [`-a'] [`-b'] MSDOSFILE [ MSDOSFILES...]
1 
1    `Mdir' displays the contents of MS-DOS directories, or the entries
1 for some MS-DOS files.
1 
1    `Mdir' supports the following command line options:
1 
1 `/'
1      Recursive output, just like MS-DOS' `-s' option
1 
1 `w'
1      Wide output.  With this option, `mdir' prints the filenames across
1      the page without displaying the file size or creation date.
1 
1 `a'
1      Also list hidden files.
1 
1 `f'
1      Fast.  Do not try to find out free space.  On larger disks,
1      finding out the amount of free space takes up some non trivial
1      amount of time, as the whole FAT must be read in and scanned.  The
1      `-f' flag bypasses this step.  This flag is not needed on FAT32
1      file systems, which store the size explicitly.
1 
1 `b'
1      Concise listing. Lists each directory name or filename, one per
1      line (including the filename extension). This switch displays no
1      heading information and no summary. Only a newline separated list
1      of pathnames is displayed.
1 
1    An error occurs if a component of the path is not a directory.
