mdel

mdel(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   mdel(1)

NAME

       mdel - mtools utility to delete a DOS file

SYNOPSIS

       mdel [-v] msdosfile [msdosfiles...]

OPTIONS

       Specifies verbose mode.	File names are echoed as they are processed.

DESCRIPTION

       The mdel command deletes a file or files on an DOS file system.	Unlike the DOS convention, multiple arguments can be specified.  If a read
       only file is encountered, the mdel command queries whether or not to delete the file.  Unlike the DOS convention,  DOS  subdirectory  names
       that  contain  the '/' or '' separator are supported.  If you use the '' separator or wildcards, you must enclose file names in quotes to
       protect them from the shell.

       The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned: Success.  Failure.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables affect the execution of mdel: If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of  the  cur-
       rent mtools working directory as established by the mcd command.  If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.

FILES

       Contains  the  name  of	the  current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command.  If this file does not exist, the default
       mtools working directory is A:.  Executable file
