minfo - print the parameters of a MSDOS filesystem
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 minfo command prints the parameters of a Dos filesys
tem, such as number of sectors, heads and cylinders. It
also prints an mformat command line which can be used to
create a similar Dos filesystem on another media. How
ever, this doesn't work with 2m or Xdf media, and with Dos
1.0 filesystems minfo drive:
Mlabel supports the following option:
v Prints a hexdump of the bootsector, in addition to
the other information

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.
* To generate a printable copy from 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://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.
