Name
       mclasserase - erase memory cards



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 mclasserase command is used to wipe memory cards by overwriting it three times: first with 0xff, then with 0x00, then
       with 0xff again. The command uses the following syntax:

          mclasserase [-d] msdosdrive



       MS-DOS  drive  is  optional,  if  none  is  specified, use A:. If more than one drive are specified, all but the last are
       ignored.

       Mclasserase accepts the following command line options:

       d      Stop after each erase cycle, for testing purposes

       p      Not yet implemented

       Mclasserase returns 0 on success or -1 on failure.

Viewing the texi doc
       This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process is only approxi-
       mative,  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 `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html'

       *      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.
