Name
mmount - mount an MSDOS disk
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 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
configuration of 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 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.
