# Command: tree / pdtree

      TREE / PDTREE graphically displays the directory [folder] structure
      of a given drive or path. It optionally includes a filelist in
      the display.

## Syntax:

      TREE [d:][path] [/F] [/A] [/?]
      PDTREE [d:][path] [/F] [/A] [/V] [/S][/P] [/?]
           d:path  The drive and path to start from. If no path is given,
           tree/pdtree will start from the current directory.

       /V  Display version information and exit.
       /S  Shortnames only (uses short, ie alternate, filename when exists).
           DOS version only, disables use of LFN API for find first/next.
       /P  Pause after each page. (Note: presently defaults to 80x25 screen)
           Win32 version only, ignores pause option if output is redirected
           to file or piped to another program, such as tree | more;
           also attempts to use current console size (TODO for DOS version).

## Examples:

      To display the complete directory hierarchy of drive C and pause
      after each screenful, run tree specifying C: as the start path and
      pipe its output to the MORE command:
        tree C:\ | more
      When using pdTree, the above example may also be achieved using:
        pdtree C:\ /p
      To display the directory hierarchy of a subdirectory and have the
      output only use standard ASCII characters (such as for printing or
      sending to someone who may view it without DOS line/box drawing
      character support), specify the subdirectory and the /A switch:
        tree ASUBDIR /a
      To display the structure of a directory tree and the files within
      each directory, add the /F switch:
        tree ASUBDIR /f | more
