mdeltree(e) mdeltree(e) Name mdeltree - recursively delete an MSDOS directory and its contents Note of warning This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete. See the end of this man page for details. Description The mdeltree command is used to delete an MS-DOS file. Its syntax is: mdeltree [-v] msdosdirectory [msdosdirectories...] Mdeltree removes a directory and all the files and subdi- rectories it contains from an MS-DOS filesystem. An error occurs if the directory to be removed does not exist. See Also Mtools' texinfo doc Viewing the texi doc This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some items, such as crossrefer- ences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate repre- sentation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all infor- mation has been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc. * To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following commands: ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi * To generate a html copy, run: ./configure; make html A premade html can be found at: `http://mtools.linux.lu' and also at: `http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools' * To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run: ./configure; make info The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the quoting conventions used in info. mtools-3.9.8 02Jun01 mdeltree(e)
