Mdir

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 directory.
