12 Dired makes an Emacs buffer containing a listing of a directory, and | |
13 optionally some of its subdirectories as well. You can use the normal | |
14 Emacs commands to move around in this buffer, and special Dired commands | |
15 to operate on the files listed. | |

17 The Dired buffer is ``read-only,'' and inserting text in it is not |
69741 | 18 useful, so ordinary printing characters such as @kbd{d} and @kbd{x} |
19 are redefined for special Dired commands. Some Dired commands | |
20 @dfn{mark} or @dfn{flag} the @dfn{current file} (that is, the file on | |
21 the current line); other commands operate on the marked files or on | |
22 the flagged files. You first mark certain files in order to operate | |
23 on all of them with on command. | |

116 @cindex deleting files (in Dired) | |
117 | |
38745 | 118 One of the most frequent uses of Dired is to first @dfn{flag} files for |
119 deletion, then delete the files that were flagged. | |
25829 | 120 |
121 @table @kbd | |
122 @item d | |
123 Flag this file for deletion. | |
124 @item u | |
125 Remove deletion flag on this line. | |
126 @item @key{DEL} | |
127 Move point to previous line and remove the deletion flag on that line. | |
128 @item x | |
129 Delete the files that are flagged for deletion. | |
130 @end table | |
131 | |
132 @kindex d @r{(Dired)} | |
133 @findex dired-flag-file-deletion | |
69741 | 134 You can flag a file for deletion by moving to the line describing |
135 the file and typing @kbd{d} (@code{dired-flag-file-deletion}). The | |
136 deletion flag is visible as a @samp{D} at the beginning of the line. | |
137 This command moves point to the next line, so that repeated @kbd{d} | |
138 commands flag successive files. A numeric argument serves as a repeat | |
139 count. | |
25829 | 140 |
141 @kindex u @r{(Dired deletion)} | |
142 @kindex DEL @r{(Dired)} | |
69741 | 143 The reason for flagging files for deletion, rather than deleting |
144 files immediately, is to reduce the danger of deleting a file | |
145 accidentally. Until you direct Dired to delete the flagged files, you | |
146 can remove deletion flags using the commands @kbd{u} and @key{DEL}. | |
147 @kbd{u} (@code{dired-unmark}) works just like @kbd{d}, but removes | |
148 flags rather than making flags. @key{DEL} | |
149 (@code{dired-unmark-backward}) moves upward, removing flags; it is | |
150 like @kbd{u} with argument @minus{}1. | |

153 @findex dired-do-flagged-delete |
25829 | 154 @cindex expunging (Dired) |
69741 | 155 To delete the flagged files, type @kbd{x} |
156 (@code{dired-do-flagged-delete}). (This is also known as | |
157 @dfn{expunging}.) This command first displays a list of all the file | |
158 names flagged for deletion, and requests confirmation with @kbd{yes}. | |
159 If you confirm, Dired deletes the flagged files, then deletes their | |
160 lines from the text of the Dired buffer. The Dired buffer, with | |
161 somewhat fewer lines, remains selected. | |
25829 | 162 |
163 If you answer @kbd{no} or quit with @kbd{C-g} when asked to confirm, you | |
164 return immediately to Dired, with the deletion flags still present in | |
165 the buffer, and no files actually deleted. | |
166 | |
69741 | 167 @cindex recursive deletion |
168 @vindex dired-recursive-deletes | |
169 You can delete empty directories just like other files, but normally | |
170 Dired cannot delete directories that are nonempty. If the variable | |
171 @code{dired-recursive-deletes} is non-@code{nil}, then Dired can | |
172 delete nonempty directories including all their contents. That can | |
173 be somewhat risky. | |

69741 | 500 changes in the buffer itself. |
501 | |
502 In some cases, using this after commands that operate on files can | |
503 cause trouble. For example, after renaming one or more files, | |
504 @code{dired-undo} restores the original names in the Dired buffer, | |
505 which gets the Dired buffer out of sync with the actual contents of | |
506 the directory. | |

511 @cindex operating on files in Dired | |
512 | |
513 This section describes the basic Dired commands to operate on one file | |
514 or several files. All of these commands are capital letters; all of | |
515 them use the minibuffer, either to read an argument or to ask for | |
69741 | 516 confirmation, before they act. All of them let you specify the |
517 files to manipulate in these ways: | |
25829 | 518 |
519 @itemize @bullet | |
520 @item | |
521 If you give the command a numeric prefix argument @var{n}, it operates | |
522 on the next @var{n} files, starting with the current file. (If @var{n} | |
523 is negative, the command operates on the @minus{}@var{n} files preceding | |
524 the current line.) | |
525 | |
526 @item | |
527 Otherwise, if some files are marked with @samp{*}, the command operates | |
528 on all those files. | |
529 | |
530 @item | |
531 Otherwise, the command operates on the current file only. | |
532 @end itemize | |
533 | |
69741 | 534 @noindent |
535 Certain other Dired commands, such as @kbd{!} and the @samp{%} | |
536 commands, use the same conventions to decide which files to work on. | |

814 These four commands rename, copy, make hard links and make soft links, | |
815 in each case computing the new name by regular-expression substitution | |
816 from the name of the old file. | |
817 @end table | |
818 | |
69741 | 819 The four regular-expression substitution commands effectively |
820 perform a search-and-replace on the selected file names. They read | |
821 two arguments: a regular expression @var{from}, and a substitution | |
822 pattern @var{to}; they match each ``old'' file name against | |
823 @var{from}, and then replace the matching part with @var{to}. You can | |
824 use @samp{\&} and @samp{\@var{digit}} in @var{to} to refer to all or | |
825 part of what the pattern matched in the old file name, as in | |
826 @code{replace-regexp} (@pxref{Regexp Replace}). If the regular | |
827 expression matches more than once in a file name, only the first match | |
828 is replaced. | |
25829 | 829 |
830 For example, @kbd{% R ^.*$ @key{RET} x-\& @key{RET}} renames each | |
831 selected file by prepending @samp{x-} to its name. The inverse of this, | |
832 removing @samp{x-} from the front of each file name, is also possible: | |
833 one method is @kbd{% R ^x-\(.*\)$ @key{RET} \1 @key{RET}}; another is | |
834 @kbd{% R ^x- @key{RET} @key{RET}}. (Use @samp{^} and @samp{$} to anchor | |
71580 | 835 matches that should span the whole file name.) |
25829 | 836 |
837 Normally, the replacement process does not consider the files' | |
838 directory names; it operates on the file name within the directory. If | |
839 you specify a numeric argument of zero, then replacement affects the | |
69741 | 840 entire absolute file name including directory name. (A non-zero |

841 argument specifies the number of files to operate on.) |
25829 | 842 |
69741 | 843 You may want to select the set of files to operate on using the same |
844 regexp @var{from} that you will use to operate on them. To do this, | |
845 mark those files with @kbd{% m @var{from} @key{RET}}, then use the | |
846 same regular expression in the command to operate on the files. To | |
847 make this more convenient, the @kbd{%} commands to operate on files | |
848 use the last regular expression specified in any @kbd{%} command as a | |
849 default. | |

887 | |
888 A Dired buffer displays just one directory in the normal case; | |
889 but you can optionally include its subdirectories as well. | |
890 | |
891 The simplest way to include multiple directories in one Dired buffer is | |
892 to specify the options @samp{-lR} for running @code{ls}. (If you give a | |
893 numeric argument when you run Dired, then you can specify these options | |
894 in the minibuffer.) That produces a recursive directory listing showing | |
895 all subdirectories at all levels. | |
896 | |
69741 | 897 More often, you will want to show only specific subdirectories. You |
898 can do this with the @kbd{i} command: | |
25829 | 899 |
900 @table @kbd | |
901 @findex dired-maybe-insert-subdir | |
902 @kindex i @r{(Dired)} | |
903 @item i | |
904 @cindex inserted subdirectory (Dired) | |
905 @cindex in-situ subdirectory (Dired) | |
906 Insert the contents of a subdirectory later in the buffer. | |
907 @end table | |
908 | |
909 Use the @kbd{i} (@code{dired-maybe-insert-subdir}) command on a line | |
910 that describes a file which is a directory. It inserts the contents of | |
911 that directory into the same Dired buffer, and moves there. Inserted | |
912 subdirectory contents follow the top-level directory of the Dired | |
913 buffer, just as they do in @samp{ls -lR} output. | |
914 | |
915 If the subdirectory's contents are already present in the buffer, the | |
916 @kbd{i} command just moves to it. | |
917 | |
918 In either case, @kbd{i} sets the Emacs mark before moving, so @kbd{C-u | |
919 C-@key{SPC}} takes you back to the old position in the buffer (the line | |
920 describing that subdirectory). | |

1002 Hide all subdirectories in this Dired buffer, leaving only their header | |
1003 lines (@code{dired-hide-all}). Or, if any subdirectory is currently | |
1004 hidden, make all subdirectories visible again. You can use this command | |
1005 to get an overview in very deep directory trees or to move quickly to | |
1006 subdirectories far away. | |

1008 | |
1009 Ordinary Dired commands never consider files inside a hidden | |
1010 subdirectory. For example, the commands to operate on marked files | |
1011 ignore files in hidden directories even if they are marked. Thus you | |
1012 can use hiding to temporarily exclude subdirectories from operations | |
69741 | 1013 without having to remove the Dired marks on files in those |
1014 subdirectories. | |

1087 The files in a Dired buffers are normally listed in alphabetical order | |
1088 by file names. Alternatively Dired can sort them by date/time. The | |
1089 Dired command @kbd{s} (@code{dired-sort-toggle-or-edit}) switches | |
1090 between these two sorting modes. The mode line in a Dired buffer | |
1091 indicates which way it is currently sorted---by name, or by date. | |

1103 @findex find-name-dired | |
1104 To search for files with names matching a wildcard pattern use | |
1105 @kbd{M-x find-name-dired}. It reads arguments @var{directory} and | |
1106 @var{pattern}, and chooses all the files in @var{directory} or its | |
1107 subdirectories whose individual names match @var{pattern}. | |
1108 | |
69741 | 1109 The files thus chosen are displayed in a Dired buffer, in which the |

1114 use @kbd{M-x find-grep-dired}. This command reads two minibuffer | |
1115 arguments, @var{directory} and @var{regexp}; it chooses all the files in | |
1116 @var{directory} or its subdirectories that contain a match for | |

1124 The most general command in this series is @kbd{M-x find-dired}, which | |

1126 minibuffer arguments, @var{directory} and @var{find-args}; it runs | |
1127 @code{find} in @var{directory}, passing @var{find-args} to tell | |

1157 for ``writable.'') To enter Wdired mode, type @kbd{M-x |
61047 | 1158 wdired-change-to-wdired-mode} while in a Dired buffer. Alternatively, |
1159 use @samp{Edit File Names} in the @samp{Immediate} menu bar menu. | |
1160 | |
1161 @findex wdired-finish-edit | |
1162 While in Wdired mode, you can rename files by editing the file names | |
1163 displayed in the Dired buffer. All the ordinary Emacs editing | |
1164 commands, including rectangle operations and @code{query-replace}, are | |
1165 available for this. Once you are done editing, type @kbd{C-c C-c} | |
1166 (@code{wdired-finish-edit}). This applies your changes and switches | |
1167 back to ordinary Dired mode. | |
1168 | |
1169 Apart from simply renaming files, you can move a file to another | |
1170 directory by typing in the new file name (either absolute or | |
71580 | 1171 relative). To mark a file for deletion, delete the entire file name. |
69741 | 1172 To change the target of a symbolic link, edit the link target name |
1173 which appears next to the link name. | |
61047 | 1174 |
1175 The rest of the text in the buffer, such as the file sizes and | |
1176 modification dates, is marked read-only, so you can't edit it. | |
1177 However, if you set @code{wdired-allow-to-change-permissions} to | |
69741 | 1178 @code{t}, you can edit the file permissions. For example, you can |
1179 change @samp{-rw-r--r--} to @samp{-rw-rw-rw-} to make a file | |
61047 | 1180 world-writable. These changes also take effect when you type @kbd{C-c |
1181 C-c}. | |
