FDIRECTORY monitor command Details The directory information for the entire default directory is displayed if no file specification or qualifier is entered. The optional file specification can be used to specify the physical device, disk drive, and directory path, and to select the files to be displayed. When displaying directory information, the command first displays the directory path actually used, including any portion obtained from the default directory specification. Then the following information is displayed for each file that satisfies the given file specification.
l The file name l The file extension l The number of KB occupied by the file l Codes for any special attributes the file has (see below) The display can be aborted by typing CTRL+C at the system terminal. l The date and time the file was written (may not be present) The qualifier "/C" or "/D" can be appended to the keyword to create or delete a subdirectory, respectively. The specific subdirectory to be considered is the last subdirectory that appears in the directory specification resulting from a combination of the current default and the input on the command line. (The user is asked for confirmation when deleting a subdirectory.) NOTE:
When creating and deleting subdirectories, all the intermediate subdirectories in the directory specification must already exist-they are not created or deleted. Subdirectories cannot be deleted if they contain any disk files. (The command FDELETE *.* can be used to delete all files in a subdirectory-use the DEFAULT command to make sure you are in the correct subdirectory before issuing this command.) 1 A complete file specification consists of the following elements: 1. An optional physical device name followed by a ">" character. An acceptable device name is "DISK" (which can be abbreviated to "D"). The ">" character must not be entered if the physical device is not specified. 2.
An optional disk unit designation followed by a colon (":"). If no disk unit is specified, the current default disk is assumed. For normal eV+ disk files, the unit is the letter name of the disk drive of interest-"A", "C". A colon (":") must terminate the unit if it is specified. 3. An optional directory path which specifies the subdirectory of interest. This parameter should contain file names and backslash (\) characters. (See the eV+ Operating System User's Guide for complete details on specifying directory paths.) A leading "\" specifies that the directory path starts at the top-level directory. eV+Operating System Reference Guide, 2.x,18321-000 Rev A Page 95
