Name
       minfo - print the parameters of a MSDOS filesystem



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:


       Mlabel 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 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.
