dosls(1)                                                           dosls(1)

NAME
     dosls - list directories on an MS-DOS floppy disk in Reliant UNIX for-
     mat

SYNOPSIS
     dosls a:dospath ...

DESCRIPTION
     dosls produces a Reliant UNIX format listing of the contents of one or
     more directories on an MS-DOS floppy disk.

     a:
     A:   As in DOS conventions, a: or A: designates the disk drive via
          which the MS-DOS floppy disk is addressed. This string must be
          prepended to each DOS path name. a: or A: addresses the first
          floppy disk drive. If a second drive exists, it may be addressed
          as b: or B:.

     dospath
          Specifies the path name of the required directory on the MS-DOS
          floppy disk. The use of wild cards (*, ?, [ ]) is permitted.

          dospath not specified:

          dosls lists the contents of the root directory on the MS-DOS
          floppy.

LOCALE
     The LCMESSAGES environment variable governs the language in which
     message texts are displayed. If LCMESSAGES is undefined or is defined
     as the null string, it defaults to the value of LANG. If LANG is like-
     wise undefined or null, the system acts as if it were not internation-
     alized.

     The LCALL environment variable governs the entire locale. LCALL
     takes precedence over all the other environment variables which affect
     internationalization.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1

     List the contents of the root directory on an MS-DOS floppy:

     $ dosls a:
     GAMES
     BIN
     USER
     ACCOUNTS
     PROGRAMS

     Example 2

     List the contents of a subdirectory on an MS-DOS floppy:

     $ dosls a:user
     JONES

     Example 3

     List the contents of a number of directories on an MS-DOS floppy:

     $ dosls a:user a:games
     /GAMES:
          FISH
          YAHTZEE
          COUNTERS
          SPIRALS
          WORM
          ENTERPR.MSD
          MASTERM.MSD
     /USER:
          JONES

NOTES
     If a directory contains more than 254 file names, the dosls command
     may produce the error message "Error - too many filenames". In this
     case, the user must limit the number of file names involved (for exam-
     ple by not using "*.*").

     It is also sufficient with the dosls command to simply specify the
     path name in order to avoid the error message.
