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.
