mdel(1)
NAME
  mdel - mtools utility to delete a DOS file

SYNOPSIS
  mdel [-v] msdosfile [msdosfiles...]

OPTIONS
  -v  Specifies verbose mode.  File names are echoed as they are processed.

DESCRIPTION
  The mdel command deletes a file or files on an DOS file system.  Unlike the
  DOS convention, multiple arguments can be specified.	If a read only file
  is encountered, the mdel command queries whether or not to delete the file.
  Unlike the DOS convention, DOS subdirectory names that contain the '/' or
  '\' separator are supported.	If you use the '\' separator or wildcards,
  you must enclose file names in quotes to protect them from the shell.

  The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working
  directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:\.

EXIT STATUS
  The following exit values are returned:

  0   Success.

  1   Failure.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
  The following environment variables affect the execution of mdel:

  MCWD
      If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the
      current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command.  If
      this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.

FILES
  $HOME/.mcwd
      Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as
      established by the mcd command.  If this file does not exist, the
      default mtools working directory is A:\.

  /usr/bin/mtools/mdel
      Executable file
