Description
The mclasserase command is used to wipe memory cards by
overwriting it three times: first with 0xff, then with
0x00, then with 0xff again. The command uses the following
syntax:
mclasserase [-d] msdosdrive
MS-DOS drive is optional, if none is specified, use A:. If more than
one drive are specified, all but the last are ignored.
Mclasserase accepts the following command line options:
- d
-
Stop after each erase cycle, for testing purposes
- p
-
Not yet implemented
Mclasserase returns 0 on success or -1 on failure.

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 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.
