dmsdosd(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to dmsdosd(1) — the dmsdos MC external fs tool page — and no cap, the actual star here is mcdmsdos: the dmsdos tool for the Midnight Commander external filesystem. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe:

mcdmsdos mc-extfs-command args ...

i.e.

mcdmsdos list <CVF_name>

mcdmsdos copyout <CVF_name> <path/name_in_CVF> <outfile>

mcdmsdos copyin <CVF_name> <path/name_in_CVF> <infile>

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

mcdmsdos is literally an interface for Midnight Commander mc(1), according to the documentation of 3.0 version for external filesystems. if you want the full lore, see the Midnight Commander documentation for more information about external filesystems. iykyk ✨

so mc-extfs-command can be:

• list — lists the contents of a CVF recursively, i.e. the names of all files in the CVF are printed. ate. 💅
• copyout — extracts a file from the CVF. 🎀
• copyin — stores a file in the CVF. This is currently not yet implemented and results in an error message. not me getting "coming soon" energy 😭

💀 BUGS 💀

warning bestie: mcdmsdos can interfere with mounted CVFs. you should not use mcdmsdos on a CVF that is currently mounted by dmsdos. honestly it would not make any sense either. fr fr 🚨
