Mtools is a public domain collection of programs to allow Unix systems |

Mtools is a collection of utilities for accessing MS-DOS disks from Unix without |
2 |
to read, write, and manipulate files on an MSDOS filesystem (typically |
2 |
mounting them. It supports Win95 style long file names, OS/2 Xdf disks, ZIP/JAZ |
3 |
a diskette). Each program attempts to emulate the MSDOS equivalent |
3 |
disks, and 2m disks (store up to 1992k on a high density 3 1/2" disk). |

command as closely as practical. |

mattrib ATTRIB change MSDOS file attribute flags |

mcopy COPY copy MSDOS files to/from Unix |

mdel DEL/ERASE delete an MSDOS file |

mdir DIR display an MSDOS directory |
16 |
mformat FORMAT add MSDOS filesystem to a low-level format |
17 |
mlabel LABEL make an MSDOS volume label. |

mmd MD/MKDIR make an MSDOS subdirectory |
19 |
mrd RD/RMDIR remove an MSDOS subdirectory |

mread COPY low level read (copy) an MSDOS file to Unix |
21 |
mren REN/RENAME rename an existing MSDOS file |
22 |
mtype TYPE display contents of an MSDOS file |

mwrite COPY alias for mcopy, will be removed soon |

You should be able to just close your eyes and pretend you're on an MSDOS |
26 |
system. Everything should work the same... except for the added 'm' at |
27 |
the beginning of each command. |
28 |
|
29 |
MSDOS filenames are optionally composed of a drive letter followed by |
30 |
a colon, a subdirectory, and a filename. Sub- directory names can use |
31 |
either the '/' or '\' separator. The use of the '\' separator or |
32 |
wildcards will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to protect |
33 |
them from the shell. |
34 |
|
35 |
The regular expression "pattern matching" routines follow the |
36 |
Unix-style rules. For example, '*' matches all MSDOS files in lieu of |
37 |
'*.*'. The archive, hidden, read-only and system attribute bits are |
38 |
ignored during pattern matching. |
