How bilalbutt/php-dos works

PHP DOS is a browser-based DOS-command simulator: a user enters a command, the client submits it asynchronously, PHP dispatches supported commands, and command handlers produce console-style output. The map separates the browser interface, dispatch and command behavior, help content, and shared configuration/helpers. The README documents the limited-command scope; the sampled dispatcher shows handler routing. The client-to-endpoint handoff is implied by the product description and filenames, but its exact request wiring was not excerpted.
