| .SH Description |
| .PP |
| The \fR\&\f(CWmtype\fR command is used to display contents of an MS-DOS |
| file. Its syntax is: |
| .PP |
| .ft I |
| .nf |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWmtype\fR [\fR\&\f(CW-ts\fR] \fImsdosfile\fR [ \fImsdosfiles\fR\&... ] |
| .fi |
| .ft R |
| |
| .PP |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWMtype\fR displays the specified MS-DOS file on the screen. |
| .PP |
| In addition to the standard options, \fR\&\f(CWMtype\fR allows the following |
| command line options: |
| .TP |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWt\fR\ |
| Text file viewing. \fR\&\f(CWMtype\fR translates incoming carriage |
| return/line feeds to line feeds. |
| .TP |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWs\fR\ |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWMtype\fR strips the high bit from the data. |
| .PP |
| The \fR\&\f(CWmcd\fR command may be used to establish the device and the |
| current working directory (relative to MS-DOS), otherwise the default is |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWA:/\fR. |
| .PP |
| \&\fR\&\f(CWMtype\fR returns 0 on success, 1 on utter failure, or 2 on partial |
| failure. |
| .PP |
| Unlike the MS-DOS version of \fR\&\f(CWTYPE\fR, \fR\&\f(CWmtype\fR allows multiple |
| arguments. |

| .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. |

| To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following |

| .nf |
| .ft 3 |
| .in +0.3i |

| .PP |
| 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. |
