SYNTAX +--------+ cdls ---| +----+ |--- cddirectory ---| +-| -a |-+ ^ | ^| -l || +---------------+ |+----+| +------+ Note: This command is for the PS/2 only. DESCRIPTION The cdls command is a CD-ROM command that is a restricted variant of the ls command. It can be used to display the contents of one or more CD-ROM directories. In the simplest form of the command, the contents of a directory is shown, one entry per line. If more than one directory is given on the command line, the contents of each directory is shown preceded by a blank line and a line containing the name of the directory followed by a colon. Letters in file names on a CD-ROM are restricted to uppercase. Since this restriction conflicts with common AIX practice, file names displayed by cdls are shown in lowercase. CD-ROM file names are written as an absolute path beginning with an alias for a device name, normally /cd0. If a file name is written in relative form (that is, no leading slash), the /cd0 prefix is assumed. FLAGS -a Lists all entries in the directory, including entries that begin a dot. -l Similar to the -l option of the ls command, but there are some differences in the directory structure and content of a CD-ROM. File permissions are always shown as "r--r--r--" and directories as "r-xr-xr-x". The link count for a file is shown as 1; directories show an unknown count. User and group IDs are printed as "***". The time shown for a file is the field described as "recording time" on the CD-ROM itself.
