CTTY
The CTTY command changes the default console device
Syntax: CTTY device
Note: This command is not supported the Dolphin Terminal.
DATE
The DATE command displays the current date (month, day, date, and year) on the
screen. If a user specifies a new date on the command line, then DATE will change the
date to the one specified. This command updates the battery-maintained clock so that
the new date will be remembered across power-downs.
Syntax: DATE [mon-dd-yy]
DEL (ERASE or ERA)
The DEL command deletes one or more files from a file system on a specific drive. If
the specified path is a directory, all files in that directory will be deleted. If the path
contains wildcards, then all files that match the wildcard specification will be deleted.
Syntax: DEL [drive:]pathname
DELAY
The DELAY command delays a batch file for a specified amount of time.
Syntax: DELAY seconds
DIR
The DIR command displays the files and sub-directories in a directory on the specified
drive. If the drive is not specified, then the default drive is assumed. DIR uses the path
operand to determine which files to list. If the path is not specified, then the current
directory is assumed. If the specified path is a directory name, then all files in that
directory are listed. If the specified path is a wildcard filename, then all files matching the
path specification are listed.
Syntax: DIR [drive:][path] [wildcard-filename]
