DOSDIR(1)                   General Commands Manual                  DOSDIR(1)

NAME
       dosdir - list an MS-DOS directory [IBM]

SYNOPSIS
       dosdir [-lr] drive

OPTIONS
       -l   # Long listing

       -r   # Recursively descend and print subdirectories

EXAMPLES
       dosdir -l A         # List root directory on drive A

       dosdir -r C x/y     # Recursively list directory x/y

       dosdir -r fd1       # List device /dev/fd1

DESCRIPTION
       Dosdir  reads  standard IBM PC diskettes or hard disk partitions in MS-
       DOS format and lists their  contents  on  standard  output.   Directory
       names should contain slashes to separate components, even though MS-DOS
       uses backslashes.  The names dosdir , dosread , and  doswrite  are  all
       links  to the same program.  The program sees which function to perform
       by seeing how it was called.  A drive code of A causes the  program  to
       use  /dev/dosA,  for  example,  a link to /dev/fd0.  Similarly, to have
       hard disk partition 1 be DOS drive C, /dev/dosC  could  be  a  link  to
       /dev/hd1,  and  so  on for other drive codes.  A normal device name may
       also be used instead of a drive code.

                                                                     DOSDIR(1)
