| .SH Description |
| .PP |
| The \fR\&\f(CWmdir\fR command is used to display an MS-DOS directory. Its |
| syntax is: |
| .PP |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWmdir\fR [\fR\&\f(CW-/\fR] [\fR\&\f(CW-f\fR] [\fR\&\f(CW-w\fR] [\fR\&\f(CW-a\fR] [\fR\&\f(CW-b\fR] \fImsdosfile\fR [ \fImsdosfiles\fR\&...] |
| .PP |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWMdir\fR |
| displays the contents of MS-DOS directories, or the entries for some |
| MS-DOS files. |
| .PP |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWMdir\fR supports the following command line options: |
| .TP |
| \&\fR\&\f(CW/\fR\ |
| Recursive output, just like MS-DOS' \fR\&\f(CW-s\fR option |
| .TP |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWw\fR\ |
| Wide output. With this option, \fR\&\f(CWmdir\fR prints the filenames across |
| the page without displaying the file size or creation date. |
| .TP |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWa\fR\ |
| Also list hidden files. |
| .TP |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWf\fR\ |
| 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 \fR\&\f(CW-f\fR flag bypasses |
| this step. This flag is not needed on FAT32 file systems, which store |
| the size explicitly. |
| .TP |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWb\fR\ |
| 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. |
| .PP |
| An error occurs if a component of the path is not a directory. |

| .SH Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc |
| This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's 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. |

| The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in |
| the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the |
| quoting conventions used in info. |
