Description

This command lists directory contents or file information. If no file name or directory name is
specified, then the current working directory is assumed. The contents of a directory are listed if
all of the following are true:

Option -r is not specified

No wild card characters are specified in the file parameter

The file specified represents an existing directory

In all other cases, the command functions as follows:

All files or directories that match the specified name are displayed.

The-r flag determines whether a recursive search is performed.

The option flag -a attrib displays only those files with the attributes specified. If more
than one attribute is specified, only the files that have all those attributes are listed. If -a
is followed by nothing, then all files or directories are displayed, regardless of their
attributes. If -a itself is not specified, then all files except system and hidden files are
displayed.
