NAME

       mdel - delete an MSDOS file

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       Mdel deletes a file on an MSDOS filesystem.

       Mdel will allow the following command line option:

       v      Verbose mode.  Echo the filenames as they are processed.

       Mdel will ask for verification prior to removing a read-only file.

       MSDOS  subdirectory  names  are supported with either the '/' or '' separator.	The use of the '' separator or wildcards will require the
       names to be enclosed in quotes to protect them from the shell.

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

SEE ALSO

       mcd(1)

BUGS

       Allows multiple arguments, which does not follow the MSDOS convention.

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.

FILES

       mtools working directory is A:.  Executable file
