This
form
lists the
contents of your current
directory
.
You can
list the
contents of a
different directory by
specifying
the path name
for
that
directory
.
The AmigaDOS
filing system organizes
directories in
a structure.
The main
directory, the
one we just saw
the
contents of with
the DIR
command
,
is known as
the root directory
.
The root
directory
can contain
files
or subdirectories, which can contain files or
additional
directories. This will be
explained further a
little later
on. A
pathname
identifies
the'
'
path" .for AmigaDOS to find
a certain
directory
or file, according
to the
structure of
the filing
system
.
The command:
DIR dfO:c
lists
the contents of
the
c(dir) on
drive
O.
Directories
are equivalent to the system
drawers
you see
when the Workbench is
visible.
You can
look
at
the directory
of a
different disk unit
(if you
have
one) by
specifying its
name:
DIR df1
:
lists
the contents of a
disk inserted in disk unit I
(the first external
drive
attached)
.
