MSDIR(1)                COMMAND REFERENCE                MSDIR(1)



NAME
     msdir - directory of msdos disk

SYNOPSIS
     msdir [ -w ] [ -s ] [ -h ] [ -i ] device [ :name ]

DESCRIPTION
     msdir reads and displays msdos filesystem directory entries
     -- if no msdos path is specified, the root directory is
     displayed.  Several output formats are available.  Wild
     cards are allowed, if escaped so the shell won't eat them --
     but note that these are shell-type wildcards, i.e. *.* does
     not match foo, but does match foo.com.

OPTIONS
     -w   forces a wide format which packs several names onto a
          line.

     -s   gives filenames one per line, for use in shell scripts,
          particularly with -h.

     -h   removes the header and footer lines.

     -p   sends the output through a pager.

EXAMPLES
     msdir -wp di:foo will display the contents of the directory
     foo in wide format, paging the output -- if foo is a file,
     its directory entry will be displayed.

VARIABLES
     PAGER          is the program used to page the output

     If the pager is not specified, it defaults to more if it
     can, or cat otherwise.

RETURN VALUES
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

     [USAGE]        Incorrect command line syntax. Execution
                    terminated.

     [NP_WARN]      An error warranting a warning message
                    occurred. Execution continues.

     [NP_ERR]       An error occurred that was not a system
                    error.  Execution terminated.
