NAME

       cdscp list directory directory-name [with attribute-name = attribute-value]

ARGUMENTS

       The  full  name	of  a specific directory.  The last simple name can contain wildcard characters.  The name of a particular attribute.  The

DESCRIPTION

       The list directory command displays a list of all the directories whose names match the specified directory name.  The last simple name can
       contain	wildcards.   You  can use a with attribute-name = attribute-value clause to limit output only to directories whose attributes have
       values equal to the specified values.  A space must precede and follow the = (equals sign).

   Privilege Required
       You must have read permission to the parent directory.  If you use a with attribute-name = attribute-value clause in the command, you  also
       need read or test permission to the selected directories.
