In the list of switches below, note that like the AMOS version, you can abbreviate any switch to the minimum number of unique characters (e.g. /C for /CONTIGUOUS, etc.).
Switch |
Function |
/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. |
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:# |
Omits from the display any files that have been modified more than # seconds ago. |
/MINDAYS:# |
Omits from the display any files that have been modified less than # days ago. |
/MINSECS:# |

/NA {:len} |
NATIVE: displays files in the native format |
/NOFILES |

/PAGE |
Pause after each page of output |
/Q |

/SEXT |

/UTIME |
