.TH dmsdosd 1 "10 Oct 1998" "dmsdos 0.9.2.0" "dmsdos MC external fs tool"
.SH NAME
mcdmsdos \- dmsdos tool for Midnight Commander external filesystem
.SH SYNOPSIS

.BI mcdmsdos " mc-extfs-command args ..."

i.e.

.BI mcdmsdos " list <CVF_name> "

.BI mcdmsdos " copyout <CVF_name> <path/name_in_CVF> <outfile> "

.BI mcdmsdos " copyin <CVF_name> <path/name_in_CVF> <infile> "

.SH DESCRIPTION
.I mcdmsdos
represents an interface for Midnight Commander 
.I mc(1)
according to the documentation of 3.0 version for external filesystems.
See the Midnight Commander documentation for more information about
external filesystems.

.I mc-extfs-command
can be:

.B list: 
lists the contents of a CVF (recursively) i.e. the names of all files
in the CVF are printed.

.B copyout:
extracts a file from the CVF.

.B copyin:
stores a file in the CVF. This is currently not yet implemented and results
in an error message.

.SH BUGS
.I mcdmsdos
can interfere with mounted CVFs. You should not use mcdmsdos on a CVF that
is currently mounted by dmsdos. This would not make any sense either.

.SH SEE ALSO

Refer to the dmsdos main documentation for further information.
See the Midnight Commander documentation for more information about
its external filesystem interface.
