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 

mmount
command is used to mount an MS-DOS disk. It is only available on Linux, as it is only useful if the OS kernel allows to configure the disk geometry. Its syntax is: 

mmount
msdosdrive [mountargs] 

Mmount
reads the boot sector of an MS-DOS disk, configures the drive geometry, and finally mounts it passing 
mountargs
to 
mount.
If no mount arguments are specified, the name of the device is used. If the disk is write protected, it is automatically mounted read only.

Viewing_SPACE_the_SPACE_texi_SPACE_doc

This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools’s texinfo documentation. However, this process is only approximative, 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 

oohttp://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.htmlI
* 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.
