SYNOPSISmdir [-w] msdosdirectory
mdir [-w] msdosfile [msdosfile...]
OPTIONS
Specifies wide output. Enables file names to be displayed across the
page without displaying the file size or creation date.
DESCRIPTION
The mdir command lists the contents of a DOS directory. Unlike the DOS
convention, multiple arguments are supported. If the component of the
path is not a directory, an error occurs. The mdir command assumes a
new disk if the current path held in the file is invalid.
DOS subdirectory names that contain the '/' or '\' separator are sup‐
ported. If you use the '\' separator or wildcards, you must enclose
file names in quotes to protect them from the shell.
The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current
working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:\.
RESTRICTIONS
The mdir command does not support the /P (pause) option.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Success. Failure.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.

lished by the mcd command. If this file does not exist, the default
