ALIASES
DIR, LS, FIND
SYNOPSIS
dir [OPTIONS] [FILESPEC]
DESCRIPTION
Lists files stored in the File System. FILESPEC may define a specific
file or contain '*' and '?' wildcards.
-L, -V
Long or Verbose mode lists file details such as permissions, size
and last modification date.
-A
Lists ALL files including Hidden files. Hidden files and folders have
names beginning with a period '.' .
-F
Lists only Files. Folders or Directorys are not listed. This is the
default for the FIND alias.
-D
Lists only Directories or Folders. Files are not listed.
-S, -R
Recurses sub-directories or sub-folders listing content in each. This
is the default for the FIND alias.
-W
Lists files in columnar format. Not valid with verbose listings.
-X
Includes the '.' file entry (current folder) when used with a
recursive (-S or -R) verbose (-V) listing.
FORMAT
The long format (option -L) is interpreted by other systems and protocols
such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP). It is therefore somewhat cryptic
and may look foreign to some. A header is not provided as it might be
misinterpreted in processing. The output appears as follows:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 387 May 27 08:45 jniorsys.log
-rw-r--r--
The initial column displays the Permissions for the file or directory.
It comprises of 10 characters in the format 'drwxrwxrwx'.
1
The digit '1' is always listed. JANOS does not support multiple
hard-links.
root
Next the file Owner is listed using the account username or 'root' if
the file or directory was created by the system. The USERS command
lists the current users.
root
The Group to which the file has been assigned. The GROUPS command lists
the currently defined Groups. The 'root' group includes all users and
is always available.
387
The file size in bytes. If the listing is a directory (first char in the
permissions is a 'd') then this is the count of entries in the folder.
May 27 08:45
The date of the last file or directory modification. The format may
change to include the year when the entry is sufficiently old.
jniorsys.log
Finally the file or directory name is listed.
NOTES
The FIND alias aids in locating files throughout the file system. The
resulting search is performed recursively from the root or the path
provided. The results are limited to files. Wildcards are automatically
inserted before and after the filename to create a lazy match on similar
files.
