Parameter
Description
/r <Dir>

/f
Displays the results of the where command in quotation marks.
/t
Displays the file size and the last modified date and time of each matched file.
[$<ENV>:|<Path>:]<Pattern>[ ...]
Specifies the search pattern for the files to match. At least one pattern is required, and the pattern can include wildcard characters (* and ?).

You can specify a different path to search by using the format $ENV:Pattern (where ENV is an existing environment variable containing one or more paths) or by using the format Path:Pattern (where Path is the directory path you want to search). These optional formats should not be used with the /r command-line option.
