mtools: mtype

 
 4.26 Mtype
 ==========
 
 The 'mtype' command is used to display contents of an MS-DOS file.  Its
 syntax is:
 
      'mtype' ['-ts'] MSDOSFILE [ MSDOSFILES... ]
 
    'Mtype' displays the specified MS-DOS file on the screen.
 
    In addition to the standard options, 'Mtype' allows the following
 command line options:
 
 't'
      Text file viewing.  'Mtype' translates incoming carriage
      return/line feeds to line feeds.
 's'
      'Mtype' strips the high bit from the data.
 
    The 'mcd' command may be used to establish the device and the current
 working directory (relative to MS-DOS), otherwise the default is 'A:/'.
 
    'Mtype' returns 0 on success, 1 on utter failure, or 2 on partial
 failure.
 
    Unlike the MS-DOS version of 'TYPE', 'mtype' allows multiple
 arguments.
