Get Directory Names
- Gunther Strube
EazyLink Server, V4.4
Request for Z88 Directory Names in the current specified valid path, ended with the path separator "/". The specified path will be added with the "*" (all names) wildcard symbol by the EazyLink server, which is standard according to the PC-LINK II specification.
The EazyLink Server always returns the "." name which identifies the current directory. Then, if the specified path in the request command defines one sub-directory or more, a ".." parent directory name is sent as well. Both identifiers as sent before any local directory names.
As shown below, each name is sent with a leading ESC "N"; the indicator that a name follows. When the last name has been transmitted ESC "Z" is sent. Directory names are sent without path specification.
