mdir(1) General Commands Manual mdir(1)NAME
mdir - mtools utility to display contents of a DOS directory
SYNOPSIS
mdir [-w] msdosdirectory
mdir [-w] msdosfile [msdosfile...]
OPTIONS
Specifies wide output. Enables file names to be displayed across the page without displaying the file size or creation date.
DESCRIPTION
The mdir command lists the contents of a DOS directory. Unlike the DOS convention, multiple arguments are supported. If the component of
the path is not a directory, an error occurs. The mdir command assumes a new disk if the current path held in the file is invalid.
DOS subdirectory names that contain the '/' or '' separator are supported. If you use the '' separator or wildcards, you must enclose
file names in quotes to protect them from the shell.
The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:.
RESTRICTIONS
The mdir command does not support the /P (pause) option.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Success. Failure.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of mdir: If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the cur-
rent mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.
FILES
Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this file does not exist, the default
mtools working directory is A:. Executable file

mmd(1) General Commands Manual mmd(1)NAME
mmd - mtools utility to make a DOS directory
SYNOPSIS
mmd [-v] msdosdirectory [msdosdirectories...]
OPTIONS
Displays the new directory name if the name supplied is invalid.
DESCRIPTION
The mmd command makes a new directory on a DOS file system. Unlike DOS conventions, this command accepts multiple arguments. Reasonable
care is taken to create a valid DOS directory name. If an invalid name is specified, the mmd command changes the directory name and dis-
plays the new name if the -v option is specified. If the directory specified exists, an error occurs.
DOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/' or '' separator. The use of the '' separator or wildcards will require the
directory name to be enclosed in quotes to protect it from the shell.
The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Success. Failure.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of mmd: If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the current
mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.
FILES
Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this file does not exist, the default
mtools working directory is A:. Executable file
