✨ mmd — make an MSDOS subdirectory ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to mmd(1) from the General Commands Manual 💖 this is the little tool that makes you a brand new directory on an MS-DOS file system, and honestly? she's simple, she's iconic, she does one thing. let's get into it 🎀

🚨 Note of Warning 🚨

ngl, this is important: this manpage was automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation, which means it may not be entirely accurate or complete. 😭 peep the end of this man page for the deets.

🌸 Description 🌸

The mmd command makes an MS-DOS subdirectory. her syntax is literally:

mmd [-D clash_option] msdosdirectory [ msdosdirectories... ]

mmd makes a new directory on an MS-DOS file system. 💅 and listen — an error occurs if the directory already exists. so don't come for her with a directory she already made, she will not be doing that. periodt.

  • Mtools' texinfo doc

📖 Viewing the texi doc 👑

so here's the thing — this manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation. but the tea is that this process is only approximative, and some items — like crossreferences, footnotes and indices — are lost in this translation process. 🙈 fr fr, these items have no appropriate representation in the manpage format. and on top of that, not all information has been translated into the manpage version. so the author strongly advises you to use the original texinfo doc. check the end of this manpage for instructions on how to view the texinfo doc. ✨

  • To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
  • To generate a html copy, run:
./configure; make html

A premade html can be found at http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html 🫶

  • 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. (it's giving slightly messy ngl, but we move.)

and that's the whole page bestie!! 💖 this was mmd(1) from mtools-4.0.49, dated 14Jun25 — mwah, slay, go make some directories (that don't already exist!!) 🎀✨💅
