 The DIRECTORY command lists the names and sizes of all files located on a particular disk.

Example:

 

  • C> dir a:
  • Shows directory of drive A
  • C> dir b:
  • Shows directory of drive B
  • C> dir \agis
  • Shows files in a subdirectory on drive C (default)
  • C> dir
  • Shows directory of drive C
  • C> dir /w
  • Shows directory in wide format, as opposed to a vertical listing.
All the files are listed at the screen, you can stop the display by typing CTRL-BREAK. If you ask for a directory on the A or B drives, be sure there is a diskette in the drive and that the diskette has been formatted. If the drive is empty, or if the diskette is unformatted, the DOS will respond with an error message.
