Introduction The role of DOS is to interpret command the user enters via the keyboard. These commands allow the following tasks to be CoC evitlon * file and folder management * disk upgrades * hardware configuration ** memory optimization * program execution ISIC] AANOF DOS | MS-DOS 1.0 was released in August 1981, and was updated until April 1994 when it was replaced by Windows 95 All versions of windows still contain some type of DOS, in windows 95 and 98 you can go to run and type command to get to DOS prompt, in NT, 2000, and XP you can type CMD and [10 DION File Manipulation pete WRT Tire Ce Wildcard Characters? * IME eCeeretran tai ee nasa tea omer eT eee ete Raat) XCOPY - copies all files ina directory (and its subdirectories) IMS en Oe Ce eae te Rost cs NTS y mem oleate eo) APN OOO Shs eb) en enn ipeNy.@ sh aeeroen cnn RENAME or REN - renames files Pad ucmemtroo enna er cd GME e eels ee meme Ronee er wid Maree eat emcee meee Directory Manipulation MD or MKDIR - creates a directe CD or CHDIR - changes directory PROMPT - changes the command prompt TREE - displays the directory structure RD or RMDIR - removes a directory aS oem eeu to) PATH - creates a search path Types of commands There are two types of commands ¥ Internal commands These are the commands which reside in the portion of computer’s memory and are loaded along with the operating system in to the memory. These commands are always available for execution. ¥ External commands these are the commands which have to be loaded from the disk into the memory of the computer before we want to execute Internal Command External Command 1. Internal commands are faster than External command. 1. External commands are slow than Internal command. 2. This commands are stored in Internal memory (RAM) 2. This commands are stored in secondary memory (Hard disk). 3. Example: Date, Time, Vol, Ver etc. 3. Example: Label, Exit etc. CLS VOL VER PATH DEL TYPE MD cD Internal commands REN PROMPT COPY TIME DATE PAUSE DIR External Commands Backup * Copy con Restore * Print Chkdsk * Move Tree * Undelete Diskcopy * Format Diskcomp * Deltree Internal commands. ® DOS stays in the internal memory of your systems unit whenever your PC is tumed on. This portion of DOS is called resident DOS. It includes the command processor and also includes many of the DOS commands © The commands that are a part of resident DOS are known as intemal commands. Because they are always in internal memory, DOS always knows where te find them * Also, it does not have to load them from disk storage into internal memory before it can execute them. To use one of these commands all you ever have to do is enter the command name at the command prompt. Example of internal commands are: Command Meaning DIR list the directories and files on your disk. Copy Copy files from one disk to another Ren Rename a file or directory MD Make a new Directory cLs Clear the screen cD Change to another directory VER Tell me the DOS version RMDIR Remove a directory External commands * If a command is not in resident DOS, it's called an external command. Each of these commands is stored in a disk file called a command file. . On a MS-DOS system, the names of command files always have an extension of COM or EXE. Usually, these command files are stored in the DOS directory on one of the drives of your PC. * Before DOS can execute an extemal command, it must find the command file for the command and load the command into internal memory. But not all systems are set up so DOS is able to find its external commands. Examples of external commands are: Command Meaning Find Find a file Edit or Edlin Start the DOS Text editor Format Format the Floppy or Hard Drive Help Open the DOS Help Files (Ver 6.0 or higher) Tree Display the directory structure Attrib Set the attributes of a file or directory.
