A-Shell 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

/H

Display hash code

/K

Kill: delete and replace listfile

/LONG

Changes the default display layout to filename of <72 or less>.extension of <8 or fewer> characters.

/LT

Sort by descending—newest to oldest—update date, in size update fspec format; similar to Unix ls -lt

/MAX:n

Display only files with n or fewer blocks

/MEMREQ

Memory required for program variable storage

/MIN:n

Display only files with n or more blocks

/MAXDAYS:#

Omits from the display any files that have been modified more than # days ago.

/MAXSECS:#

/MINSECS:#
