mcd - change MSDOS directory
Note of warning
This manpage has been automatically generated from
mtools's texinfo documentation, and may not be entirely
accurate or complete. See the end of this man page for
details.
Description
The mcd command is used to change the mtools working
directory on the MS-DOS disk. It uses the following syn
tax:
mcd [msdosdirectory]
Without arguments, mcd reports the current device and
working directory. Otherwise, mcd changes the current
device and current working directory relative to an MS-DOS
filesystem.
The environmental variable MCWD may be used to locate the
file where the device and current working directory infor
mation is stored. The default is `$HOME/.mcwd'. Informa
tion in this file is ignored if the file is more than 6
hours old.
Mcd returns 0 on success or 1 on failure.
Unlike MS-DOS versions of CD, mcd can be used to change to
another device. It may be wise to remove old `.mcwd' files
at logout.

Viewing the texi doc
This manpage has been automatically generated from
mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process is
only approximative, and some items, such as crossrefer
ences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation
process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate repre
sentation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all infor
mation has been translated into the manpage version. Thus
I strongly advise you to use the original texinfo doc.
See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view
the texinfo doc.
run the following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
* To generate a html copy, run:
./configure; make html
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), run:
./configure; make info
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult
to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.
