Description

16       The  minfo  command prints the parameters of a MS-DOS file system, such
17       as number of sectors, heads and cylinders.  It also prints  an  mformat
18       command  line  which can be used to create a similar MS-DOS file system
19       on another media.  However, this doesn't work with 2m or XDF media, and
20       with MS-DOS 1.0 file systems

Viewing the texi doc

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

42       *      To  generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the fol‐
43              lowing commands:
44
45                     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
46
47
48
49       *      To generate a html copy,  run:
50
51                     ./configure; make html
52
53       A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/man‐
54       ual/mtools.html'
55
56       *      To  generate  an  info  copy (browsable using emacs' info mode),
57              run:
58
59                     ./configure; make info

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