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 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
information

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.
