Name
       mdeltree - recursively delete an MSDOS directory and its contents



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 mdeltree command is used to delete an MS-DOS file. Its syntax is:

       mdeltree [-v] msdosdirectory [msdosdirectories...]


       Mdeltree	 removes  a directory and all the files and subdirectories it
       contains from an MS-DOS filesystem. An error occurs if  the  directory
       to be removed does not exist.

Viewing the texi 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  repre-
       sentation  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 fol-
	      lowing commands:

		     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi



       *      To generate a html copy,	run:

		     ./configure; make html

	      A	 premade  html	can be found at: 'http://mtools.linux.lu' and
	      also at: 'http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'

       *      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.
