dir (command)
In computing, dir (directory) is a command used for file and directory listing, specifically in the command line interface (CLI) of the operating systems CP/M, DOS, OS/2, Singularity, Microsoft Windows and in the DCL command line interface used
on VMS, RT-11 and RSX-11. The command is also supplied with OS/8 as a CUSP (Commonly-Used System Program).
Unices
dir is not a Unix command, Unix has the analogous ls command instead. The Linux operating system, however, has a dir command that "is equivalent to ls -C -b; that is, by default files are listed in columns, sorted vertically, and special characters are represented by backslash escape sequences".[1]
