NAME
       dndir - Display VMS directories

SYNOPSIS
       dndir [options] directory
       Options:
       [-sdpbolcntVh] [-w width] [-f filename width]

DESCRIPTION
       dndir displays the contents of directories on VMS systems.
       It  behaves  similarly  to  the ls command in that, by default, it will
       display filenames in columns across the screen if the output is	a  TTY
       or  in  a single column otherwise.  Options can be added to the command
       line to display more information about the files or to adjust the  col‐
       umn widths.
       The  directory name should be in the usual transparent DECnet format of
       node"user password"::directory (see EXAMPLES ). If a wildcard  specifi‐
       cation is omitted from the command line then *.*;* is assumed.
       As  with	 the  dncopy  and  dntype commands, the VMS file specification
       should be enclosed in single quote marks to protect special  characters
       from the shell.

OPTIONS
       -s     Shows  the  VMS  file size in 512-byte blocks or bytes if the -b
	      switch is present.

       -d     Shows the file creation date.

       -p     Shows the file protection.

       -o     Shows the file's owner.

       -b     Shows the file size in bytes rather than 512 byte blocks

       -l     Long format - shows all of the above (including the file size in
	      bytes)

       -t     Show  the	 total	number of blocks in all the files listed. Note
	      that this works even if you did not ask for the size to be  dis‐
	      played.

       -T connect timeout
	      Specifies	 the  maximum  amount of time the command will wait to
	      establish a connection with the remote node. a 0 here will cause
	      it to wait forever. The default is 60 seconds

       -e     Show (nearly) everything about the file. Like DIR/FULL

       -n     Do  not  show the header line with the VMS directory name on it.
	      This is useful for embedding dndir in a pipeline.

       -c     Force the output to single column even on a TTY.

       -w N   Sets the width of a column to be N characters.  The  default  is
	      22. This option only has an effect on the brief (default) output
	      to a TTY device.

       -f N   Sets the width of the displayed filename to be N characters. The
	      default  is  18. If the filename is longer than this number then
	      any requested file attributes will  be  displayed	 on  the  next
	      line.

       -h -?  Displays help for using the command.

       -V     Show the version of the tools package that dncopy comes from.

EXAMPLES
	 dndir 'myvax::'

	 dndir 'tramp"christine pjc123"::[.pics.cats]*.jpg'

	 dndir 'trisha"system -"::sys$system:*.exe'
	 Prompts for a password rather than typing it on the command line.
