mdir - display an MSDOS directory
SYNOPSIS
mdir [ -w ] msdosdirectory
mdir [ -w ] msdosfile [ msdosfiles... ]
DESCRIPTION
Mdir displays the contents of an MSDOS directory.
Mdir will allow the following command line option:
w Wide output. This option will print the filenames
across the page without displaying the file size or
creation date.
An error occurs if a component of the path is not a direc-
tory.
MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/'
or '\' separator. The use of the '\' separator or wild-
cards will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to
protect them from the shell.
The mcd command may be used to establish the device and
the current working directory (relative to MSDOS), other-
wise the default is A:/.
Mdir returns 0 on success, 1 on utter failure, or 2 on
partial failure.
