mshortname(1)		     General Commands Manual		   mshortname(1)

Name
     mshortname - shows short name of a file

Note of warning
     This  manpage  has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo docu-
     mentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete.  See  the  end  of
     this man page for details.

Description
     The  mshortname  command is used to display the short name of a file.  Syn-
     tax:

     mshortname files

     The shortname is displayed as it is stored in raw format on  disk,  without
     any character set conversion.

Viewing the texi doc
     This  manpage  has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo docu-
     mentation. However, this process is only  approximative,  and  some  items,
     such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation
     process.	Indeed,  these	items  have no appropriate representation in the
     manpage format.  Moreover, not all information 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.gnu.org/software/mtools/man-
     ual/mtools.html'

     *	    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 con-
     ventions used in info.
