NAME
mdir - mtools utility to display contents of a DOS directory
SYNOPSIS
mdir [-w] msdosdirectory
mdir [-w] msdosfile sdosfile...]
FLAGS
Specifies wide output. Enables filenames to be displayed across the
page without displaying the file size or creation date.
DESCRIPTION
The mdir command lists the contents of a DOS directory. Unlike the DOS
convention, multiple arguments are supported. If the component of the
path is not a directory, an error occurs. The mdir command assumes a
new disk if the current path held in the .mcwd file is invalid.
DOS subdirectory names that contain the '/' or '\' separator are sup-
ported. If you use the '\' separator or wildcards, you must enclose
filenames in quotes to protect them from the shell.
The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current
working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:\.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of mdir: If
set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the current
mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this
variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.
RESTRICTIONS
The mdir command does not support the /P (pause) option.
EXIT VALUES
The following exit values are returned: Success Failure
FILES
Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as estab-
lished by the mcd command. If this file does not exist, the default
mtools working directory is A:\. Executable file
