💖 CPMLS(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to cpmls — it lives in the User commands section of the manual (that's the manual name, section 1, iykyk) and it's literally here to list the sorted contents of a directory. that's it. that's the gig. and she ate. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

cpmls — list sorted contents of directory 🗂️✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cpmls [-f format] [-T libdsk-type] [-d|-D|-F|-A|-l[-c][-i]] [-u] image
[file-pattern...]

like yes, that's a lot of brackets, breathe, we're gonna go through every single one 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Cpmls lists the sorted contents of the directory. periodt. 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -f format — use the given CP/M disk format instead of the default format. no cap, this is how you tell her what she's looking at 👑
  • -T libdsk-type — libdsk driver type, e.g. tele for Teledisk images or raw for raw images (requires building cpmtools with support for libdsk). note the tea: this one only works if cpmtools was built with libdsk support, so if it's not vibing that's why 😭
  • -d — old CP/M 2.2 dir output.
  • -D — P2DOS 2.3 ddir-like output.
  • -F — CP/M 3.x dir output.
  • -A — E2fs lsattr-like output.
  • -l — long UNIX-style directory listing including size, time stamp and user number. the main character format fr fr 🌟
  • -c — output the creation time, not the modification time. (this one's a sidekick — she rides along with -l, see the synopsis 🫶)
  • -i — print index number of each file. also a -l bestie, just so you know 🎀
  • -u — show all CP/M file names in upper case. LOUD AND PROUD 📣
psst — look at the synopsis again: -d, -D, -F, -A and -l are all in one big either/or group, and -c and -i are nested inside -l. so like, pick your format, don't be messy 💅

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

upon successful completion, exit code 0 is returned. slay. ✅

💀 ERRORS 💀
