mdir(1)

Name
       mdir - display an MSDOS directory

Note
       This   manpage   has  been  automatically  generated  from
       mtools's texinfo documentation.  However, this process  is
       only  approximative,  and  some items, such as crossrefer-
       ences, footnotes and indices are lost in this  translation
       process.  Indeed, this items have no appropriate represen-
       tation in the manpage format.  Moreover,  only  the  items
       specific  to  each  command  have been translated, and the
       general information about mtools has been dropped  in  the
       manpage  version.   Thus  I strongly advise you to use the
       original texinfo doc.

       *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo  doc,
              run the following commands:
                     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

       *      To generate a html copy,  run:
                     ./configure; make html
              A     premade     html    can    be    found    at:
              `http://linux.wauug.org/pub/knaff/mtools'

       *      To generate an info copy  (browsable  using  emacs'
              info mode), run:
                     ./configure; make info

       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.

Description
       The  mdir  command is used to display an MS-DOS directory.
       Its syntax is:

       mdir [-w] msdosdirectory

       mdir [-f] [-w] [-a] msdosfile [ msdosfiles...]

       Mdir displays the contents of an MS-DOS directory.

       Mdir supports the following command line options:

       w      Wide output.  With this  option,  mdir  prints  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 -f flag
              bypasses this step.  This flag  is  not  needed  on
              FAT32    filesystems,    which   store   the   size
              explicitely.

       An error occurs if a component of the path is not a direc-
       tory.
