This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's |
|
|
17 |
texinfo documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or |
|
|

complete. See the end of this man page for |

!!Description |

The mcd command is used to change the mtools |
|
|
24 |
working directory on the MS-DOS disk. It uses the following |
|
|
25 |
syntax: |
|
|
26 |
|
|
|
27 |
|
|
|
28 |
mcd [[''msdosdirectory'' |
|
|
29 |
|
|
|
30 |
|
|
|
31 |
] |
|
|
32 |
|
|
|
33 |
|
|
|
34 |
Without arguments, mcd reports the current device |
|
|
35 |
and working directory. Otherwise, mcd changes the |
|
|
36 |
current device and current working directory relative to an |
|
|
37 |
MS-DOS filesystem. |
|
|
38 |
|
|
|
39 |
|
|
|
40 |
The environmental variable MCWD may be used to |
|
|
41 |
locate the file where the device and current working |
|
|
42 |
directory information is stored. The default is |
|
|
43 |
`$HOME/.mcwd'. Information in this file is ignored |
|
|
44 |
if the file is more than 6 hours old. |
|
|
45 |
|
|
|
46 |
|
|
|
47 |
Mcd returns 0 on success or 1 on |
|
|
48 |
failure. |
|
|
49 |
|
|
|
50 |
|
|
|
51 |
Unlike MS-DOS versions of CD, mcd can be |
|
|
52 |
used to change to another device. It may be wise to remove |
|
|
53 |
old `.mcwd' files at logout. |

This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's |
|
|
62 |
texinfo documentation. However, this process is only |
|
|
63 |
approximative, and some items, such as crossreferences, |
|
|
64 |
footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process. |
|
|
65 |
Indeed, these items have no appropriate representation in |
|
|
66 |
the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been |
|
|
67 |
translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise |
|
|
68 |
you to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this |
|
|
69 |
manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo |
|
|
70 |
doc. |

To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the |
|
|
77 |
following commands: |
|
|
78 |
|
|
|
79 |
|
|
|
80 |
__ ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi |
|
|

|
|

|
|
|

To generate a html copy, run: |
|
|
88 |
|
|
|
89 |
|
|
|
90 |
__ ./configure; make html |
|
|
91 |
__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), |
|
|
98 |
run: |
|
|
99 |
|
|
|
100 |
|
|
|
101 |
__ ./configure; make info |
|
|
102 |
__ |
|
|
103 |
|
|
|
104 |
|
|
|
105 |
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. |
|
|
106 |
Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult |
|
|
107 |
to read due to the quoting conventions used in |
|
|
108 |
info. |
