Description

16       The  mclasserase command is used to wipe memory cards by overwriting it
17       three times: first with 0xff, then with 0x00, then with 0xff again. The
18       command uses the following syntax:
19
20          mclasserase [-d] msdosdrive
21
22
23
24       Dos  drive  is optional, if none is specified, use A:. If more than one
25       drive are specified, all but the last are ignored.
26
27       Mclasserase accepts the following command line options:
28
29       d      Stop after each erase cycle, for testing purposes
30
31       p      Not yet implemented
32
33       Mclasserase returns 0 on success or -1 on failure.

Viewing the texi doc

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

48       *      To  generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the fol‐
49              lowing commands:
50
51                     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
52
53
54
55       *      To generate a html copy,  run:
56
57                     ./configure; make html
58
59              A  premade  html  can  be  found  at   `http://www.gnu.org/soft‐
60              ware/mtools/manual/mtools.html'
61
62       *      To  generate  an  info  copy (browsable using emacs' info mode),
63              run:
64
65                     ./configure; make info
66
67
68
69       The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.  Indeed,  in
70       the  info  version  certain  examples  are difficult to read due to the
71       quoting conventions used in info.
