dir

---

Without any options, dir displays the disk's volume label and serial number, a list of all files and subdirectories in the current directory, file/directory size, date/time of last modification, long filename, the total number of files listed, their cumulative size , and the free space (in bytes) remaining on the disk. If you specify one or more file or directory names ( * and ? wildcards are supported), information only for those files or directories will be listed. dir accepts the following options:

 dir [   filename   ] [/b] [/c] [/d] [/l] [/n] [/p] [/q] [/s]     [/w] [/x] [/4] [/a:   attributes   ] [/o:   sortorder   ]     [/t:   timefield   ] 

Option	Description
/a: attributes	Display only files with/without specified attributes (using - as a prefix specifies "not," and a colon between the option and attribute is optional).
/b	Use bare format (no heading information or summary). Use with /s to find a filename.
/c	Display compression ratio of files on Dblspace or DrvSpace drives , assuming 16 sectors per cluster.
/d	Same as /w , except files are sorted vertically.
/l	Use lowercase.
/n	List files in a "new" Unix-like display, where filenames are shown on the right.
/o: sortorder	List files in sorted order (using - as a prefix reverses the order, and a colon between the option and attribute is optional): d = date and time (earliest first), e = alphabetically by extension, g = group directories first , n = alphabetically by name , s = size (smallest first).
/p	Pause after each screenful of information; press any key to continue.
/q	Display the owner of each file.
/s	Include all files in all subdirectories, in addition to those in the current directory.
/t : timefield	Controls which time is used when sorting: c = created, a = last accessed, w = last modified (written)
/w	Wide list format. File and directory names are listed in five columns , and are sorted horizontally. Use /d instead to sort vertically.
/x	Include the "short" 8.3 versions of long filenames. For example, Sam's File.txt has an alternate filename, samsfi~1.txt to maintain compatibilty with older applications.
/4	Display the listed years as four digits. By default, two-digit years are displayed.
