23 The minfo command prints the parameters of a Dos
24 filesystem, such as number of sectors, heads and cylinders.
25 It also prints an mformat command line which can be used to
26 create a similar Dos filesystem on another media. However,
27 this doesn't work with 2m or Xdf media, and with Dos 1.0
28 filesystems minfo ''drive'':

46 This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's
47 texinfo documentation. However, this process is only
48 approximative, and some items, such as crossreferences,
49 footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process.
50 Indeed, these items have no appropriate representation in
51 the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been
52 translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise
53 you to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this
54 manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo
55 doc.

90 The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
91 Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult
92 to read due to the quoting conventions used in
93 info.
