mcd(1)

Name
       mcd - change MSDOS directory

Note
       This   manpage   has  been  automatically  generated  from
       mtools's texinfo documentation.  However, this process  is
       only  approximative,  and  some items, such as crossrefer-
       ences, footnotes and indices are lost in this  translation
       process.  Indeed, this items have no appropriate represen-
       tation in the manpage format.  Moreover,  only  the  items
       specific  to  each  command  have been translated, and the
       general information about mtools has been dropped  in  the
       manpage  version.   Thus  I strongly advise you to use the
       original 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://linux.wauug.org/pub/knaff/mtools'

       *      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.

Description
       The  mcd  command  is  used  to  change the mtools working
       directory on the MS-DOS disk. It uses the  following  syn-
       tax:

          mcd [msdosdirectory]

       Without  arguments,  mcd  reports  the  current device and

       working directory.  Otherwise,  mcd  changes  the  current
       device and current working directory relative to an MS-DOS
       filesystem.

       The environmental variable MCWD may be used to locate  the
       file where the device and current working directory infor-
       mation is stored.  The default is `$HOME/.mcwd'.  Informa-
       tion  in  this  file is ignored if the file is more than 6
       hours old.

       Mcd returns 0 on success or 1 on failure.

       Unlike MS-DOS versions of CD, mcd can be used to change to
       another device. It may be wise to remove old `.mcwd' files
       at logout.
