      DIRECTORY CHILD child-name [prepositional-phrase]

 ARGUMENTS

 child-name

 A specific child name or a complete directory specification followed
 by a wildcard template for matching simple names of child pointers.

 prepositional_phrase

 A phrase that affects the destination or content of command output.
 You can use one or more prepositional phrases. Be sure to precede
 each of the following prepositional phrases with a comma and a
 space:

 with attribute [relop] value        When used with a wildcard child-
                                     name, limits the output only
                                     to directories whose specified
                                     attributes have certain values.
 to file[=]filename                  Redirects the output to
                                     filename. If the file does not
                                     exist, this command creates
                                     it. If the file does exist, its
                                     contents are overwritten.
 to extend file[=]filename           Appends the output to an
                                     existing filename. If the file
                                     does not exist, it is created.
 to terminal                         Directs the output to the
                                     terminal. This is the default
                                     option.
