Command Function
DIR Displays filenames of all files in the directory
except those marked with the SYS attribute.
DIRSYS Displays filenames of files marked with the SYS
(system) attribute in the directory.
ERASE Erases a filename from the disk directory and
releases the storage space occupied by the file.

Some of the major CP/M 3.0 transient utility commands are listed in
Table 14-2. (The actual list of transient commands may change from
time to time as the CP/M system is updated or added to.) When you
enter a command keyword that identifies a transient utility, CP/M 3.0
loads the program file from the disk and passes that file any
filenames, data or parameters you entered in the command tail.
NOTE: The built-in commands, DIR, RENAME, and TYPE have
optional transient extensions.
