This is a typical output of a DIR command. It lists all files and directories along with their date, size, and attributes. It also shows the amount of free space remaining on the drive.
DIR can accept parameters to specify particular storage device, a specific path to directory or file, or a standard file mask by using the ‘*’ and ‘?’ characters.
For example:
DIR *.rxe
will list the executable files in the current directory.
DIR ifs:/mydir1/prog*.rit
will list files that start with ‘prog’ and have file extension ‘.rit’, from directory ifs:/mydir1.
