ls
function. The general syntax for its use is
dir('dirname1','dirname2',...,'dirnameN')
but this can also be expressed as
dir 'dirname1' 'dirname2' ... 'dirnameN'
or
dir dirname1 dirname2 ... dirnameN
For compatibility with some environments, the function ls
can also be used
instead of dir
. Generally speaking, dirname
is any string that would be
accepted by the underlying OS as a valid directory name. For example, on
most systems, '.'
refers to the current directory, and '..'
refers to
the parent directory. Two points worth mentioning about the dir
function:
ls
command, use the system
function instead.
ls
function.
