NAME

       dosdir - list an MS-DOS directory [IBM]

SYNOPSIS

       dosdir [-lr] drive

OPTIONS

       -l     Long listing

       -r     Recursively descend and print subdirectories

EXAMPLES

       dosdir -l A	   # List root directory on drive A

       dosdir -r C x/y	   # Recursively list directory x/y

       dosdir -r fd1	   # List device /dev/fd1

DESCRIPTION

       Dosdir  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.

NAME

       hd - MFM/IDE hard disk devices

DESCRIPTION

       The  hd*  devices  are block devices to access MFM/IDE hard disk drives in raw mode.  The master drive on the primary IDE controller (major
       device number 3) is hda; the slave drive is hdb.  The master drive of the second controller (major device number 22) is hdc and	the  slave
       hdd.

       General	IDE block device names have the form hdX, or hdXP, where X is a letter denoting the physical drive, and P is a number denoting the
       partition on that physical drive.  The first form, hdX, is used to address the whole drive.  Partition numbers are assigned  in	the  order
       the  partitions	are  discovered,  and only nonempty, nonextended partitions get a number.  However, partition numbers 1-4 are given to the
       four partitions described in the MBR (the "primary" partitions), regardless of whether they are unused or extended.  Thus, the first  logi-
       cal  partition  will be hdX5.  Both DOS-type partitioning and BSD-disklabel partitioning are supported.	You can have at most 63 partitions
       on an IDE disk.

       For example, /dev/hda refers to all of the first IDE drive in the system; and /dev/hdb3 refers to the third DOS "primary" partition on  the
       second one.

       They are typically created by:

	      mknod -m 660 /dev/hda b 3 0
	      mknod -m 660 /dev/hda1 b 3 1
	      mknod -m 660 /dev/hda2 b 3 2
	      ...
	      mknod -m 660 /dev/hda8 b 3 8
	      mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb b 3 64
	      mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb1 b 3 65
	      mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb2 b 3 66
	      ...
	      mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb8 b 3 72
	      chown root:disk /dev/hd*
