Using the File System on the ACE
Displaying Files Residing On the ACE
To display the files in a directory and the contents of a file, perform the following tasks:
Command
dir {core: | disk0:[directory/][filename] |
image:[filename] | probe:[filename] |
volatile:[filename]}
show file {disk0: [path/]
filename} [cksum | md5sum]

Purpose
Displays a detailed list of directories and files contained within the
specified file system on the ACE, including names, sizes, and time
created.
The keywords and arguments are as follows:
| volatile:
Displays the contents of a specified file in a directory in Flash memory or
filename
in nonvolatile memory.
The keywords, arguments, and options are as follows:
core:—Displays the contents of the core: file system.
•
disk0:—Displays the contents of the disk0: file system.
•
image:—Displays the contents of the image: file system.
•
probe:—Displays the contents of the probe: file system. This
•
directory contains the Cisco-supplied scripts. For more information
about these scripts, see the Cisco 4700 Series Application Control
Engine Appliance Server Load-Balancing Configuration Guide.
volatile:—Displays the contents of the volatile: file system.
•
directory/—(Optional) Contents of the specified directory.
•
filename—(Optional) Information that relates to the specified file,
•
such as the file size and the date it was created. You can use wildcards
in the filename. A wildcard character (*) matches all patterns. Strings
after a wildcard are ignored.
disk0: [path/]filename—Specifies the name of a file residing in the
•
disk0: file system of Flash memory (for example, a packet capture
buffer file or system message log). You can optionally provide a path
to a file in a directory in the disk0: file system.
volatile: filename—Specifies the name of a file in the volatile
•
memory file system of the ACE.
cksum—(Optional) Displays the cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
•
checksum for the file. The checksum values compute a CRC for each
named file. Use this option to verify that the file is not corrupt. You
compare the checksum output for the received file against the
checksum output for the original file.
md5sum—(Optional) Displays the MD5 checksum for the file. MD5
•
is an electronic fingerprint for the file. MD5 is the latest
implementation of the internet standards described in RFC 1321 and
is useful for data security and integrity.
