The Linux mdir command is used to display MS-DOS directories.

mdir is a command in the mtools utility suite that emulates the dir command of MS-DOS, showing the contents of directories in the MS-DOS file system.

Syntax

mdir [-afwx/][directory]

Parameters:

-/ Display all subdirectories and files in the directory.
-a Display hidden files.
-f Do not show the remaining available space on the disk.
-w Only display the names of directories or files, presented in a horizontal layout to show more directories or files at once.
-X Only display the full paths of all subdirectories and files, without showing other information.
