4 mdeltree - recursively delete an MSDOS directory and its contents
17 This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
18 documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete. See the
19 end of this man page for details.
23 The \fR\&\f(CWmdeltree\fR command is used to delete an MS-DOS file. Its syntax
28 \&\fR\&\f(CWmdeltree\fR [\fR\&\f(CW-v\fR] \fImsdosdirectory\fR [\fImsdosdirectories\fR\&...]
33 \&\fR\&\f(CWMdeltree\fR removes a directory and all the files and subdirectories
34 it contains from an MS-DOS file system. An error occurs if the directory
35 to be removed does not exist.
39 .SH Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc
40 This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
41 documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
42 items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
43 translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate
44 representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has
45 been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to
46 use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for
47 instructions how to view the texinfo doc.
50 To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following
56 ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
65 To generate a html copy, run:
70 ./configure; make html
76 \&\fRA premade html can be found at
77 \&\fR\&\f(CW\(ifhttp://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html\(is\fR
80 To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:
85 ./configure; make info
93 The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
94 the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
95 quoting conventions used in info.
