DESCRIPTION
Dosdir reads standard IBM PC diskettes or hard disk parti-
tions in MS-DOS format and lists their contents on standard
output. Directory names should contain slashes to separate
components, even though MS-DOS uses backslashes. The names
dosdir , dosread , and doswrite are all links to the same
program. The program sees which function to perform by see-
ing how it was called. A drive code of A causes the program
to use /dev/dosA, for example, a link to /dev/fd0. Simi-
larly, to have hard disk partition 1 be DOS drive C,
/dev/dosC could be a link to /dev/hd1, and so on for other
drive codes. A normal device name may also be used instead
of a drive code.
