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.
