Note
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, this items have no appropriate representation 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://www.tux.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 mdeltree command is used to delete an MS-DOS file. Its
syntax is:
mdeltree [-v] msdosdirectory [msdosdirectories...]
Mdeltree removes a directory and all the files and
subdirectories it contains from an MS-DOS filesystem. An
error occurs if the directory to be removed does not exist.
