Directory (OpenVMS command)

Directory (OpenVMS command)

In computer software, specifically the command line interface of the OpenVMS operating system, the DIRECTORY command (often abbreviated as DIR) is used to list the files inside a directory. It is analogous to the DOS dir and Unix ls commands.

Sample output

$ dir  
 
Directory DISK$USER:[EBROCKLESBY.DICT.DICTD-1_8_0]
