16 This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's
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 mdir command is used to display an MS-DOS
24 directory. Its syntax is:
25
26
27 mdir [[-/] [[-f] [[-w]
28 [[-a] [[-b] ''msdosfile'' [[
29 ''msdosfiles''...]
30
31
32 Mdir displays the contents of MS-DOS directories,
33 or the entries for some MS-DOS files.
34
35
36 Mdir supports the following command line
37 options:
38
39
40 /
41
42
43 Recursive output, just like Dos' -s
44 option
45
46
47 w

50 Wide output. With this option, mdir prints the
51 filenames across the page without displaying the file size
52 or creation date.

64 Fast. Do not try to find out free space. On larger disks,
65 finding out the amount of free space takes up some non
66 trivial amount of time, as the whole FAT must be read in and
67 scanned. The -f flag bypasses this step. This flag
68 is not needed on FAT32 filesystems, which store the size
69 explicitely.
70
71
72 b
73
74
75 Concise listing. Lists each directory name or filename, one
76 per line (including the filename extension). This switch
77 displays no heading information and no summary. Only a
78 newline separated list of pathnames is
79 displayed.
80
81
82 An error occurs if a component of the path is not a
83 directory.

91 This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's
92 texinfo documentation. However, this process is only
93 approximative, and some items, such as crossreferences,
94 footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process.
95 Indeed, these items have no appropriate representation in
96 the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been
97 translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise
98 you to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this
99 manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo
100 doc.

106 To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the
107 following commands:

109
110 __ ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

120 __ ./configure; make html
121 __A premade html can be found at: `http://mtools.linux.lu' and also at: `http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'

128 run:
129
130
131 __ ./configure; make info
132 __

135 The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
136 Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult
137 to read due to the quoting conventions used in
138 info.
