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

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

FLAGS
  -v  Specifies verbose mode.  Filenames are echoed as they are processed.

DESCRIPTION
  The mdel command deletes a file or files on an DOS filesystem.  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 filenames 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:\.

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.

EXIT VALUES
  The following exit values are returned:

  0   Success

  1   Failure

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
