In [[computer software]], specifically the [[command line interface]] of the [[OpenVMS]] [[operating system]], the '''DIRECTORY''' [[command (computing)|command]] (often abbreviated as '''DIR''') is used to list the [[computer file|file]]s inside a [[directory]]. It is analogous to the [[DOS]] [[dir (DOS command)|dir]] and [[Unix]] [[ls]] commands.
