Description
The
mdircommand is used to display an MS-DOS directory. Its syntax is:
mdir[
-/] [
-f] [
-w] [
-a] [
-b] msdosfile [ msdosfiles...]
Mdirdisplays the contents of MS-DOS directories, or the entries for some MS-DOS files.
Mdirsupports the following command line options:
/ | |
Recursive output, just like Dos -soption | |
w | |
Wide output. With this option, mdirprints the filenames across the page without displaying the file size or creation date. | |
a | |
Also list hidden files. | |
f | |
Fast. Do not try to find out free space. On larger disks, finding out
the amount of free space takes up some non trivial amount of time, as
the whole FAT must be read in and scanned. The -fflag bypasses this step. This flag is not needed on FAT32 filesystems, which store the size explicitely. | |
b | |
Concise listing. Lists each directory name or filename, one per line (including the filename extension). This switch displays no heading information and no summary. Only a newline separated list of pathnames is displayed. | |

Viewing_SPACE_the_SPACE_texi_SPACE_doc
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtoolss texinfo documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc.
