24.SH DESCRIPTION
25.PP
26.I Dosdir
27reads standard IBM PC diskettes or hard disk partitions in
28\s-2MS-DOS\s+2 format and lists their contents on standard output.
29Directory names should contain slashes to separate components, even though
30\s-2MS-DOS\s+2 uses backslashes.
31The names
32.I dosdir ,
33.I dosread ,
34and
35.I doswrite
36are all links to the same program.
37The program sees which function to perform by seeing how it was called.
38A drive code of
39.I A
40causes the program to use \fI/dev/dosA\fR, for example,
41a link to \fI/dev/fd0\fR.
42Similarly, to have hard disk partition 1 be DOS drive C, \fI/dev/dosC\fR
43could be a link to \fI/dev/hd1\fR, and so on for other drive codes.
44A normal device name may also be used instead of a drive code.
