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 mdeltree command is used to delete an MS-DOS file. Its syntax is:
17
18       mdeltree [-v] msdosdirectory [msdosdirectories...]
19
20
21       Mdeltree  removes  a  directory and all the files and subdirectories it
22       contains from an MS-DOS file system. An error occurs if  the  directory
23       to be removed does not exist.

Viewing the texi doc

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

38       *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the  fol‐
39              lowing commands:
40
41                     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
42
43
44
45       *      To generate a html copy,  run:
46
47                     ./configure; make html
48
49       A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/man‐
50       ual/mtools.html'
51
52       *      To generate an info copy (browsable  using  emacs'  info  mode),
53              run:
54
55                     ./configure; make info
56

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