1 /ALIAS
Scan all directories on a disk for alias files.
2 /COMPRESS
Recreates and compresses the directory. Because directories are alphabetically sorted files, deleting and entering files randomly will create 'holes' in directory files. /COMPRESS will remove these holes by rebuilding and truncating the directory.
3 /DEVICE=device-name
Append the device name to the directory-file name. Can only be used with /COMPRESS or /DUMP
4 /DUMP
Produces a dump of the directory file block by block. This command may be usefull for debugging corrupted or suspected directories.
5 /EMPTY
Scan the disk for empty directories.
6 /FILL_FACTOR
/FILL_FACTOR=percentage This qualifier is only valid in combination with /COMPRESS. Default behaviour for DFU is to compress a directory as tight as possible; this is equivalent to /FILL_FACTOR=100. By choosing a lower fill_factor DFU will leave some free space in each directory block. /FILL_FACTOR may be between 50 and 100 %. Caution : choosing a fill_factor lower than 100% may fail if the directory file is not large enough. In that case DFU will signal an error and advise using a higher fill_factor.
7 /FORMAT
/FORMAT=format_string Used with /VERSION and /OUTPUT. Create an output file using the format as described in formatstring. The format string MUST contains the !AS directive; DFU fills in the resultant file there. Example : DFU> DIR/VERSION=3/OUT=P.COM/FORMAT="$purge !AS"
8 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT=filename This qualifier redirects the output from DFU to an output file.
9 /REBUILD_MFD
/REBUILD_MFD Rebuilds the disk's 000000.DIR directory and makes sure the file backlinks to itself.
10 /RECOVER
/RECOVER Rebuilds a corrupted directory file. Do not use this command on critical (system)directories!
11 /STATISTICS
/STATISTICS /NOSTATISTICS (default) Controls whether CPU and I/O consumption of the command are shown.
12 /TEST
This qualifier can be used only in conjunction with /COMPRESS. When /TEST is specified DFU will show the results of a directory compression without actually performing a compress operation.
13 /TRUNCATE
/TRUNCATE(=n) This qualifier is only valid in combination with /COMPRESS. After compressing a directory DFU will NOT truncate the empty blocks at the end of the directory , unless /TRUNCATE is specified. A number 'n' may be specified to let DFU truncate no further than 'n' blocks. ('n' will be rounded up to a multiple of the disks cluster size.) Example: a 60 block directory A.DIR can be compressed to 20 blocks. The results are: DIR/COMPRESS --> A.DIR size 20/60 blocks. DIR/COMPRESS/TRUNCATE --> A.DIR size 20/20 blocks. DIR/COMPRESS/TRUNCATE=40 --> A.DIR size 20/40 blocks.
14 /VERSION
/VERSION=n Scan all directories of a given device for files which have at least 'n' versions.
