| .SH Description |
| .PP |
| The \fR\&\f(CWminfo\fR 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 |

| .SH 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 |
| 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. |

| 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. |
