What is ms dos explain any 5 internal dos command?

MS DOS is Microsoft Disk Operating System. It was a command-line interface, meaning the user had to type in commands to use it, unlike Windows which is a Graphical User Interface. MS DOS was released on IBM PCs when they came out in the 1980s and continued in popular use until the mid 1990s, by which time the first of the Windows operating systems, Windows 95, began to take over.

MS DOS commands were either stored as individual programs, known as external commands, or in a file called Command.com, which stored more commonly used commands. These were called internal commands. Included in these would have been commands like COPY, DEL, DIR, CD and RD.

COPY enabled the copying of files. DEL deleted files. DIR gave a listing of files in a directory (now called a folder). CD changed from one directory to another. RD removed a directory.

Write the syntax and purpose of ATTRIB command?

Attirb command is used to change the attribute of any file of directory. There are following kinds of attributes in DOS:

  • R - Read Only
  • H - Hidden
  • A - Archive
  • S - System

Among all, Archive (A) attributes applies by default as we create any file or directory. System (S) attribute is reserved for the System Files (IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, CONFIG.SYS) of MS-DOS. We can apply Read Only or Hidden attributes to any file or directory to make it read only of hidden. The syntax is as follows:

To make file Read Only: attrib +r

To make file Hidden: attrib +h

To remove Read Only attribute: attrib -r

To remove Hidden attribute: attrib -h

Similarly we can set/remove Archive (A) or System (S) attributes to file with +a/-a or +s/-s option.
