[net.unix-wizards] DIR.C for UNIX

rconn%brl@sri-unix.UUCP (09/14/83)

From:      Rick Conn <rconn@brl>

I have completed DIR.C for UNIX SYSTEM III.  It is similar to XDIR
under ZCPR2, and it has been tested on SYSTEM III and BRL (-3 option).
The files are /d/rconn/.src/dir.c and /d/rconn/.man/dir.1 ... for
users of UC, dir is invoked from UC as a subprocess for directory
display purposes from command mode.  The mans (uc.1) explain.
DIR.C and DIR.1 will be available from SIMTEL20 in a day or two.
A partial man entry follows:

	       DIR is designed to provide a "clean" directory display
	  to the user.	It lists the matching files in a double	column
	  format, alphabetizing	the entries down the columns.  File
	  names	and sizes are included in the listing, as well as a
	  total	at the bottom of the screen.  If a file	is a
	  directory, it	is preceeded by	the letter "D".

	       If the -a option	is used, the attributes	(read, write,
	  and execute) are listed as well.

	       If the -h option	is used, hidden	files (those whose
	  names	start with a dot) are listed in	addition to the	other
	  files.

	       The following directory displays	illustrate the various
	  options of DIR.  Comments are	included in these displays,
	  and they are denoted by "<--"	and extend from	this symbol to
	  the end of the line.

	  $ dir	$HOME/.src	  <-- Display non-hidden files in $HOME/.src
