Note of warning

11       This  manpage  has  been  automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
12       documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete.   See  the

Description

16       The mtoolstest command is used to tests the mtools configuration files.
17       To invoke it, just type mtoolstest without any  arguments.   Mtoolstest
18       reads the mtools configuration files, and prints the cumulative config‐
19       uration to stdout. The output can  be  used  as  a  configuration  file
20       itself  (although you might want to remove redundant clauses).  You may
21       use this program to convert  old-style  configuration  files  into  new
22       style configuration files.

Viewing the texi doc

28       This  manpage  has  been  automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
29       documentation. However, this process is only  approximative,  and  some
30       items,  such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
31       translation process.  Indeed, these items have no appropriate represen‐
32       tation  in  the manpage format.  Moreover, not all information has been
33       translated into the manpage version.  Thus I strongly advise you to use
34       the original texinfo doc.  See the end of this manpage for instructions
35       how to view the texinfo doc.

37       *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the  fol‐
38              lowing commands:
39
40                     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
41
42
43
44       *      To generate a html copy,  run:
45
46                     ./configure; make html
47
48       A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/man‐
49       ual/mtools.html'
50
51       *      To generate an info copy (browsable  using  emacs'  info  mode),
52              run:
53
54                     ./configure; make info

57
58       The  texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.  Indeed, in
59       the info version certain examples are difficult  to  read  due  to  the
60       quoting conventions used in info.
