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 |

!!Description |
| |
|
21 |
|
| |
|
22 |
|
| |
|
23 |
The mren command is used to rename or move an |
| |
|
24 |
existing MS-DOS file or subdirectory. Its syntax |
| |
|
25 |
is: |
| |
|
26 |
|
| |
|
27 |
|
| |
|
28 |
mren [[-voOsSrRA] ''sourcefile |
| |
|
29 |
targetfile'' |
| |
|
30 |
|
| |
|
31 |
|
| |
|
32 |
Mren renames an existing file on an MS-DOS |
| |
|
33 |
filesystem. |
| |
|
34 |
|
| |
|
35 |
|
| |
|
36 |
In verbose mode, Mren displays the new filename if |
| |
|
37 |
the name supplied is invalid. |
| |
|
38 |
|
| |
|
39 |
|
| |
|
40 |
If the first syntax is used (only one sourcefile), and if |
| |
|
41 |
the target name doesn't contain any slashes or colons, the |
| |
|
42 |
file (or subdirectory) is renamed in the same directory, |
| |
|
43 |
instead of being moved to the current mcd directory |
| |
|
44 |
as would be the case with mmove. Unlike the MS-DOS |
| |
|
45 |
version of REN, mren can be used to rename |
| |
|
46 |
directories. |

This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's |
| |
|
55 |
texinfo documentation. However, this process is only |
| |
|
56 |
approximative, and some items, such as crossreferences, |
| |
|
57 |
footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process. |
| |
|
58 |
Indeed, these items have no appropriate representation in |
| |
|
59 |
the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been |
| |
|
60 |
translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise |
| |
|
61 |
you to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this |
| |
|
62 |
manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo |
| |
|
63 |
doc. |

To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the |
| |
|
70 |
following commands: |
| |
|
71 |
|
| |
|
72 |
|
| |
|
73 |
__ ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi |
| |

To generate a html copy, run: |
| |
|
81 |
|
| |
|
82 |
|
| |
|
83 |
__ ./configure; make html |
| |
|
84 |
__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), |
| |
|
91 |
run: |
| |
|
92 |
|
| |
|
93 |
|
| |
|
94 |
__ ./configure; make info |
| |
|

|

The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. |
| |
|
99 |
Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult |
| |
|
100 |
to read due to the quoting conventions used in |
| |
|
101 |
info. |
