ASQL Reference

/1

Eliminates the directory and size information from the output. When combined with the /NATIVE switch, it produces just a list of filenames (file.ext), similar to the Unix ls -1 command. Added in 6.1.1354.

/A

Adate: displays last access date.

/AT

Atime: displays last access time.

/CDATE

Displays file "c date."

/CON

Displays a "C" to identify "contiguous" files. (Note that under A-Shell, this really just means the file is a multiple of 512 bytes.)

/CTIME

Displays file "c time". Usually used with /CDATE. See notes under CDATE for differences between the "c date" under AMOS/Windows and Unix.

/D

Data: displays complete filespecs.

/F

Full: same as /H/CON/V
