Command: dosdir - list an MS-DOS directory [IBM]
Syntax: dosdir [-lr] drive
Flags: -l Long listing
-r Recursively descend and print subdirectories
Examples: dosdir -l A # List root directory on drive A
dosdir -r C x/y # Recursively list directory x/y
dosdir -r fd1 # List device /dev/fd1
Dosdir reads standard IBM PC diskettes or hard disk partitions in
MS-DOS format and lists their contents on standard output. Directory
names should contain slashes to separate components, even though MS-DOS
uses backslashes. The names dosdir, dosread, and doswrite are all links
to the same program. The program sees which function to perform by
seeing how it was called. A drive code of A causes the program to use
/dev/dosA, for example, a link to /dev/fd0. Similarly, to have hard
disk partition 1 be DOS drive C, /dev/dosC could be a link to /dev/hd1,
and so on for other drive codes. A normal device name may also be used
instead of a drive code.
