$ attrib /d
try on your machine

The command "attrib /d" is used in command-line interfaces, such as Windows Command Prompt, to display or modify the attributes of directories.

  • "attrib" stands for attribute and it is a command used to display or change the attributes of files or directories.
  • "/d" is an option that specifically targets directories.

When the command "attrib /d" is executed, it will display the attributes of directories within the current directory in Command Prompt. This includes attributes like "Read-only" (R), "Hidden" (H), "System" (S), "Archive" (A), and others. The attributes indicate various properties of the directories.

For example, if you run the command "attrib /d" in Command Prompt, you might see a list of directories with their respective attributes displayed.
