DIR
DIR :- DIR is used to display the contents of a drive or directory.
The DIR or directory command is located in the system32 directory of Windows. It is an executable file that gives DOS access to a user.
If you mean storage, you can find it with DIR
Dir WIN*.*
#include <stdlib.h> int main() { system("dir"); return 0; }
Hidden files are files stored on the disk, but which do not show up when you list a directory of the disk.In DOS, you normally type the command DIR to view the files on a disk. If you would like to see hidden file names, use the command DIR /AH (A=Attribute; H=Hidden).
DOS stands for Disk Operating System. To be useful computers have to have an operating system. The early IBM PC computers used the MS-DOS operating system. A DOS command is an instruction to the DOS operating system. It must be in a specific form. For example, the command DIR told the DOS operating system to list all files. These commands were typed at a place called the DOS command line. There a many such commands.
They are different languages, so you need to use a different word with different syntax to do the same thing. For example, to display the contents of the current directory, the command in MS-DOS is dir, but in UNIX it's ls.
You can run "dir /?" command.
Running the MS-DOS DIR command and "piping" the results to a file does this.
