mdir(1)
NAME
  mdir - mtools utility to display contents of a DOS directory

SYNOPSIS
  mdir [-w] msdosdirectory

  mdir [-w] msdosfile [msdosfile...]

OPTIONS
  -w  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 .mcwd file is invalid.

  DOS subdirectory names that contain the '/' or '\' separator are supported.
  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:

  0   Success.

  1   Failure.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
  The following environment variables affect the execution of mdir:

  MCWD
      If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the
      current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command.  If
      this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.

FILES
  $HOME/.mcwd
      Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as
      established by the mcd command.  If this file does not exist, the
      default mtools working directory is A:\.

  /usr/bin/mtools/mdir
      Executable file
