.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Dosdir
|
|
reads standard IBM PC diskettes or hard disk partitions in
|
|
\s-2MS-DOS\s+2 format and lists their contents on standard output.
|
|
Directory names should contain slashes to separate components, even though
|
|
\s-2MS-DOS\s+2 uses backslashes.
|
|
The names
|
|
.I dosdir ,
|
|
.I dosread ,
|
|
and
|
|
.I 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
|
|
.I A
|
|
causes the program to use \fI/dev/dosA\fR, for example,
|
|
a link to \fI/dev/fd0\fR.
|
|
Similarly, to have hard disk partition 1 be DOS drive C, \fI/dev/dosC\fR
|
|
could be a link to \fI/dev/hd1\fR, and so on for other drive codes.
|
|
A normal device name may also be used instead of a drive code.
