minfo(1)		    General Commands Manual		      minfo(1)

Name
       minfo - print the parameters of a MSDOS filesystem

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

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

       Minfo supports the following option:

       v      Prints a hexdump of the boot sector, in addition	to  the	 other
	      information

Viewing	the texi doc
       This  manpage  has  been	 automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
       documentation. 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 represen-
       tation 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 fol-
	      lowing 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 conventions used	in info.
