The variable @code{dired-listing-switches} specifies the options to
give to @code{ls} for listing the directory; this string @emph{must}
-contain @samp{-l}. If you use a numeric prefix argument with the
-@code{dired} command, you can specify the @code{ls} switches with the
-minibuffer before you enter the directory specification. No matter
-how they are specified, the @code{ls} switches can include short
-options (that is, single characters) requiring no arguments, and long
-options (starting with @samp{--}) whose arguments are specified with
-@samp{=}.

On MS-Windows and MS-DOS systems, Emacs @emph{emulates} @code{ls};
see @ref{ls in Lisp}, for options and peculiarities of that emulation.
Compress the specified files (@code{dired-do-compress}). If the file
appears to be a compressed file already, uncompress it instead.
+@findex epa-dired-do-decrypt
+@kindex :d @r{(Dired)}
+@cindex decrypting files (in Dired)
+@item :d
+Decrypt the specified files (@code{epa-dired-do-decrypt}).

@findex dired-do-load
@kindex L @r{(Dired)}
@cindex loading several files (in Dired)
If you use @kbd{l} on a subdirectory header line, it updates the
contents of the corresponding subdirectory.
+@vindex dired-auto-revert-buffer
+ If you use @kbd{C-x d} or some other Dired command to visit a
+directory that is already being shown in a Dired buffer, Dired
+switches to that buffer but does not update it. If the buffer is not
+up-to-date, Dired displays a warning telling you to type @key{g} to
+update it. You can also tell Emacs to revert each Dired buffer
+automatically when you revisit it, by setting the variable
+@code{dired-auto-revert-buffer} to a non-@code{nil} value.
+
@kindex k @r{(Dired)}
@findex dired-do-kill-lines
To delete the specified @emph{file lines} from the buffer---not
it added to the kill ring, so you can use it to display the list of
currently marked files in the echo area.
+@cindex Dired and version control
+ If the directory you are visiting is under version control
+(@pxref{Version Control}), then the normal VC diff and log commands
+will operate on the selected files.
+
@findex dired-compare-directories
The command @kbd{M-x dired-compare-directories} is used to compare
the current Dired buffer with another directory. It marks all the files
to the file in that directory. Precisely which action is taken is
determined by the originating program. Dragging files out of a Dired
buffer is currently not supported.
