Windows command: tree command with all options

The “tree” command is a Windows command-line tool that displays the directory structure of a specified path or drive in a tree format. Here are the options available for the “tree” command:

Usage: tree [drive:][path] [/F] [/A] [/Q] [/R] [/T] [/X] [/K]

Options:

  • [drive:][path]: Specifies the drive and directory to display the tree structure of. If no path is specified, the current directory is used.
  • /F: Displays the names of the files in each folder.
  • /A: Uses ASCII instead of extended characters.
  • /Q: Encloses directory names in double quotation marks.
  • /R: Displays the tree structure in a reverse order.
  • /T: Displays the tree structure with the file sizes.
