///1DIR
|
||
|
|
||
|
The DIR command displays the names of files and the
|
||
|
characteristics associated with the files.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The DIR command has three distinct references:
|
||
|
|
||
|
DIR
|
||
|
DIRS
|
||
|
DIR with Options
|
||
|
|
||
|
DIR and DIRS are built-in utilities. DIR with Options is a
|
||
|
transient utility and must be loaded into memory from the disk.
|
||
|
|
||

Syntax:
|

Explanation:
|
||
|
|

|
The DIR and DIRS Built-in commands display the names of files
|
||
|
cataloged in the directory of an on-line disk. DIR lists the
|
||
|
names of files in the current user number that have the Directory
|
||
|
(DIR) attribute. DIR accepts the * and ? wildcards in the file
|
||
|
specification.

|
Syntax:
|
||
|
|

|
DIR {d:} [options]

Explanation:
|
||
|
|
||
|
The DIR command with options is an enhanced version of the DIR
|
||
|
built-in command and displays your files in a variety of ways.
|
||
|
DIR can search for files on any or all drives, for any or all
|
||
|
user numbers. One or two letters is sufficient to identify an
|
||
|
option. You need not type the right hand square bracket.
|
||
