17 texinfo documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or
18 complete. See the end of this man page for
19 details.
20 !!Description
21
22
23 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.

61 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.

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.
