    display.

    The default display specifically selects the user files for

    System files, hidden files, and directory structures not
    representing user files are not displayed by default.

               seldom displayed.

    SYSTEM     Displays files that are marked as system files.

    The following shows example directory output for a typical
    OpenVMS I64 directory.

    The following shows the default directory output for a sparsely-
    populated directory file, and particularly shows the string
    quoting needed as the target filename contains a space.

 EFI$CP> dir "dva0:\New Folder"

 Directory dva0:\New Folder

 10-JUN-2003 15:36:01.83  <DIR>         New Folder
 EFI$CP>

    The following shows a brief-format output of all files present.
    You will notice that the Dot (.) and DotDot (..) directory
    entries found in all FAT subdirectories are now visible-while
    surprisingly not marked as hidden, these two directory entries
    are deliberately and explicitly masked by most FAT displays.

 EFI$CP> dir "dva0:\New Folder"/show=all

 Directory dva0:\New Folder

 10-JUN-2003 15:36:00.23  <DIR>         .
 10-JUN-2003 15:36:00.23  <DIR>         ..
 10-JUN-2003 15:36:01.83  <DIR>         New Folder
 EFI$CP>

    The Dot (.) directory entry is an alias for the current
    directory; for the directory that contains the Dot entry. The
    DotDot (..) entry is an alias for the parent directory; for
    the directory that contains the current directory file. Dot
    and DotDot are required to exist in all subdirectories, and are
    further explicitly required to be absent from within the volume
    Master File Directory (MFD) of any FAT12 or FAT16 volume.

    The following shows more information.
