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 docu-
     mentation, 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 infor-
	    mation

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.
