- ls.com - CP/M Directory lising program
-
- The program lists the directory in several different
- formats depending on switches set in the command
- line (ala C). Explanation of the switches follows:
-
- Size specification:
- -f Lists full directory (file size in
- records, size file takes in disk
- space, and the files attributes
- -b Lists brief directory (file size in
- records only
- default Lists file names only
- Attribute specification:
- -n Lists files that are SYS only
- -r Lists files that are R/O only
- -w Lists files that are R/W only
- -a Lists files regardless of attributes
- default Lists files that are DIR only
- (corresponds to CP/M dir)
- Sort specification:
- -s Sorts listed files alphabettically
- default Does not sort files
- Case specification:
- -u Lists information in upper case
- default Lists information in lower case
-
- For the size or attributes specifications - if two
- of any switches in either of these groups are set -
- a conflict arises and a warning is issued and the
- default setting for the group is set.
- e.g. ls .com -fb This command asks for a full
- and a brief listing at the same time. Here warning
- is issued and default set (brief, brief listing)
- Switches may be set in any order and can be con-
- catenated or separated.
- e.g. ls *.com -fasl does the same as
- ls *.com -a -s -fl
