## Note of warning

           This   manpage   has  been  automatically  generated  from
           mtools's texinfo documentation, and may  not  be  entirely
           accurate  or  complete.   See the end of this man page for
           details.

## Description

           The mdir command is used to display an  MS-DOS  directory.
           Its syntax is:

           mdir [-/] [-f] [-w] [-a] [-b] msdosfile [ msdosfiles...]

           Mdir  displays  the contents of MS-DOS directories, or the
           entries for some MS-DOS files.

           Mdir supports the following command line options:

           /      Recursive output, just like Dos' -s option

           w      Wide output.  With this  option,  mdir  prints  the
                  filenames  across  the  page without displaying the
                  file size or creation date.

           a      Also list hidden files.

           f      Fast.  Do not try  to  find  out  free  space.   On
                  larger  disks, finding out the amount of free space
                  takes up some non trivial amount of  time,  as  the
                  whole FAT must be read in and scanned.  The -f flag
                  bypasses this step.  This flag  is  not  needed  on
                  FAT32    filesystems,    which   store   the   size
                  explicitely.

           b      Concise listing. Lists each directory name or file
                  name,  one  per line (including the filename exten
                  sion). This switch displays no heading  information
                  and  no  summary.  Only a newline separated list of
                  pathnames is displayed.

           An error occurs if a component of the path is not a direc
           tory.

           This   manpage   has  been  automatically  generated  from
           mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this  process  is

           *      To generate a html copy,  run:

                         ./configure; make html

                  A     premade     html    can    be    found    at:

           *      To  generate  an  info copy (browsable using emacs'
                  info mode), run:

                         ./configure; make info

           The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
           Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult
           to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.
