DOS is a single-tasking operating system. There is no process list because it does not have them. It's just one process, all the time.

Terminate-and-stay-resident programs can't be easily listed because they're not really part of the operating system. They hook software interrupts to call their code, which are not a part of DOS at all, in fact they're part of the processor itself.

NAME
mattrib - mtools utility to change DOS file attribute options SYNOPSIS
mattrib [-a | +a] [-h | +h] [-r | +r] [-s | +s] msdosfile [msdosfiles...] The mattrib command sets (+) or clears (-) the attribute options of a DOS file. OPTIONS
Sets or resets the archive bit. Some backup programs use this option to indicate a new file. Sets or resets the hidden-bit. This option hides files from the DOS DIR command. To view these files, use the mdir command. Sets or resets the read-only bit. This option is used to indicate a read-only file. If this bit is set, a file cannot be removed using the DOS DEL command. To remove the file, use the mdel command. Sets or resets the system bit. This option is used by DOS to indicate an operating system file. DESCRIPTION
The mattrib command sets the attribute options of a DOS file using the plus (+) operator, or clears attribute options using the minus (-) operator. DOS pathnames 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 following exit values are returned: Success. Failure. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
