dir: List subdirectories recursively.

$ dir --recursive

try on your machine

The command "dir --recursive" is used to list the files and directories in a specified location, including all subdirectories and their contents.

The "dir" command is commonly used in command-line interfaces to display the contents of a directory. By default, it shows the files and directories in the current directory.

When the "--recursive" option is added to the "dir" command, it causes the command to traverse all subdirectories within the specified location and display their contents as well. This means that not only the files and directories within the specified location are shown, but also those within any subdirectories.

For example, if you execute "dir --recursive" in the "Documents" directory, it will display a list of all files and directories within the "Documents" directory, as well as in any subdirectories within it.

The "--recursive" option can be useful when you want to see the full directory structure, including all nested folders and files, to get a comprehensive view of what is stored within a particular location.
