Mtools is a public domain collection of programs to allow Unix systems
|
|
to read, write, and manipulate files on an MSDOS filesystem (typically
|
|
a diskette). Each program attempts to emulate the MSDOS equivalent
|
|
command as closely as practical.
|
|
|
|
The following MSDOS commands are emulated:
|
|
|
|
Mtool MSDOS
|
|
name equivalent Description
|
|
----- ---- -----------
|
|
mattrib ATTRIB change MSDOS file attribute flags
|
|
mcd CD change MSDOS directory
|
|
mcopy COPY copy MSDOS files to/from Unix
|
|
mdel DEL/ERASE delete an MSDOS file
|
|
mdir DIR display an MSDOS directory
|
|
mformat FORMAT add MSDOS filesystem to a low-level format
|
|
mlabel LABEL make an MSDOS volume label.
|
|
mmd MD/MKDIR make an MSDOS subdirectory
|
|
mrd RD/RMDIR remove an MSDOS subdirectory
|
|
mread COPY low level read (copy) an MSDOS file to Unix
|
|
mren REN/RENAME rename an existing MSDOS file
|
|
mtype TYPE display contents of an MSDOS file
|
|
mwrite COPY alias for mcopy, will be removed soon
|
|
|
|
You should be able to just close your eyes and pretend you're on an MSDOS
|
|
system. Everything should work the same... except for the added 'm' at
|
|
the beginning of each command.
|
|
|
|
MSDOS filenames are optionally composed of a drive letter followed by
|
|
a colon, a subdirectory, and a filename. Sub- directory names can use
|
|
either the '/' or '\' separator. The use of the '\' separator or
|
|
wildcards will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to protect
|
|
them from the shell.
|
|
|
|
The regular expression "pattern matching" routines follow the
|
|
Unix-style rules. For example, '*' matches all MSDOS files in lieu of
|
|
'*.*'. The archive, hidden, read-only and system attribute bits are
|
|
ignored during pattern matching.
