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.
