dls(1)                              CLIX                              dls(1)



  NAME

    dls - Lists contents of an MS-DOS directory

  SYNOPSIS

    dls [-adflmrtFR] name ...

  FLAGS

    -a   Lists all entries, including hidden files, system files, ., and ...

    -d   For each directory argument, lists only its name, not its contents.

    -f   Forces each argument to be interpreted as a directory and lists the
         name found in each entry.  This flag turns off -l, -t, -s, and -r and
         turns on -a.

    -l   Lists in long format.

    -m   Forces stream output format.

    -r   Reverses the sort order to get reverse alphabetic (default) or oldest
         first (if the -t flag is specified).

    -t   Sorts by time modified (latest first) instead of by name.

    -F   Marks directories with a trailing /.

    -R   Recursively lists subdirectories encountered.

  DESCRIPTION

    The dls command lists the directory contents for MS-DOS directories.  (dls
    performs the same function for MS-DOS directories as ls does for CLIX
    directories.)  If no directories are named on the command line, the root
    directory of drive a: is assumed.

    The long form of the directory listing supplies the filename; the read,
    hidden, system, volume, directory, and archive bits; the date and time of
    the last file modification; the beginning File Allocation Table (FAT)
    entry of the file; and the total size (in bytes) of the file.

    Drive a: (the floppy drive), b: (the external floppy drive for systems
    with two floppy drives), or c: (the DOS partition of the hard disk) may be
    accessed with this command.  If no drive is specified, a: (the floppy
    drive) is assumed.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  To list the contents of a:\:



  2/94 - Intergraph Corporation                                              1

  dls(1)                              CLIX                              dls(1)



        dls


    2.  To show a long listing of all files in the directory a:\foo:

        dls-al a:\foo


    3.  To list the DOS partition of the hard disk:

        dls c:

  FILES

    /dev/dsk/fl         Default floppy device

    /dev/dsk/ufloppy    31/2 inch floppy driver

    /dev/dsk/floppy     51/4 inch floppy driver

    /dev/dsk/s0u0p9.0   DOS partition

  NOTES

    The dls command cannot read disks created on versions of DOS prior to
    version 2.0.

  CAUTIONS

    The dls command is no longer supported, and may be broken.  This command
    has been replaced with the mtools command mdir.
