DSW (1) BDS C Users' Group DSW (1)
NAME NAME
dsw - delete files selectively with prompting
SYNOPSIS SYNOPSIS
dsw dsw [-s] [filedesc] ...
DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION
___ Dsw is a program which lists a partial or entire directory,
one entry at a time, on the console and prompts for each
file to be deleted. Optionally, the directory entries may
be sorted before prompting. Zero or more file descriptors
(ambiguous or unambiguous) may be supplied to tailor the
output. If no file descriptors are supplied, a default of
*.* is used, i.e. everything on the current drive.
An answer of 'y' to the prompt will cause the file to be
deleted; anything else will cause the file to be kept.
The following option is available:
-s sort into alphabetic sequence before prompting
CAVEATS CAVEATS
This program was tested with v1.50 of the BDS C compiler
under CP/M 2.2. It should work with other versions of BDS C
and CP/M, but has not been tested.
EXAMPLES EXAMPLES
dsw a:*.* b:*.* lists everything on drives A & B, prompting
for deletion of each file. The files are
presented in directory sequence
dsw -s *.com lists all .COM files on the current default
drive in alphabetic sequence, prompting for
deletion for each one
BUGS BUGS
If the same file corresponds to more than one file
descriptor, it will be listed once for each such
correspondence.
A maximum of 128 filenames is allowed.
NOTES NOTES
Requires files.c for link.
