Name¶
mdeltree - recursively delete an MSDOS directory and its contents
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 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 file system. An error occurs if the directory to be removed
does not exist.

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 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

- 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.
