DOSDIR(1) General Commands Manual DOSDIR(1)NAMEdosdir - list an MS-DOS directory [IBM]SYNOPSISdosdir [-lr] driveOPTIONS-l Long listing -r Recursively descend and print subdirectoriesEXAMPLESdosdir -l A # List root directory on drive A dosdir -r C x/y # Recursively list directory x/y dosdir -r fd1 # List device /dev/fd1DESCRIPTIONDosdir 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 pro- gram 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.
