The mcd
command is used to change the mtools working directory
on the MS-DOS disk. It uses the following syntax:
mcd
[msdosdirectory]
Without arguments, mcd
reports the current device and working
directory. Otherwise, mcd
changes the current device and current
working directory relative to an MS-DOS filesystem.
The environmental variable MCWD
may be used to locate the file
where the device and current working directory information is stored.
The default is `$HOME/.mcwd'. Information in this file is ignored
if the file is more than 6 hours old.
Mcd
returns 0 on success or 1 on failure.
Unlike MS-DOS versions of CD
, mcd
can be used to change to
another device. It may be wise to remove old `.mcwd' files at logout.
