NAME

       pls - list directory contents

SYNOPSIS

       pls [-a] [-R] [-d LEVEL] [-p DEVNAME] [-h] [DIRECTORY]

DESCRIPTION

       pls list the contents of a directory on a device connected through SynCE.

       Forward slashes ('/') on the command line are converted to backward slashes ('').

       File attributes

	      A  Archive

	      C  Compressed

	      D  Directory

	      H  Hidden

	      I  In ROM

	      M  ROM module (can only be executed, not read!)

	      N  Normal

	      R  Read-only

	      S  System

	      T  Temporary

OPTIONS

       -d LEVEL
	      Set debug log level:

	      0 - No logging (default)

	      1 - Errors only

	      2 - Errors and warnings

	      3 - Everything

       -p DEVNAME
	      Use the device with the given name, instead of the default.

       -a     Show all files including those marked as hidden.

       -R     Recursively list subdirectories.

       -h     Display help message.

       DIRECTORY
	      The  full  path  name  to the directory. Wild cards are allowed, but only for the trailing part of the path, and should be protected
	      from the shell. If this parameter is relative, it is assumed to be relative to the "My Documents" folder. Similarly, if this parame-
	      ter is omitted, the contents of the "My Documents" folder is listed.
