Description
This command lists directory contents or file information. If no file name or directory name is
specified, then the current working directory is assumed. The contents of a directory are listed if
all of the following are true:
• Option -r is not specified
• No wild card characters are specified in the file parameter
• The file specified represents an existing directory
In all other cases, the command functions as follows:
◦ All files or directories that match the specified name are displayed.
◦ The-r flag determines whether a recursive search is performed.
◦ The option flag -a attrib displays only those files with the attributes specified. If more
than one attribute is specified, only the files that have all those attributes are listed. If -a
is followed by nothing, then all files or directories are displayed, regardless of their
attributes. If -a itself is not specified, then all files except system and hidden files are
displayed.
