mtools: global variables

1 3.4 Global variables
1 ====================
1 
1 Global flags may be set to 1 or to 0.
1 
1    The following global flags are recognized:
1 
1 `MTOOLS_SKIP_CHECK'
1      If this is set to 1, mtools skips most of its sanity checks. This
1      is needed to read some Atari disks which have been made with the
1      earlier ROMs, and which would not be recognized otherwise.
1 
1 `MTOOLS_FAT_COMPATIBILITY'
1      If this is set to 1, mtools skips the fat size checks. Some disks
1      have a bigger FAT than they really need to. These are rejected if
1      this option is not set.
1 
1 `MTOOLS_LOWER_CASE'
1      If this is set to 1, mtools displays all-upper-case short
1      filenames as lowercase. This has been done to allow a behavior
1      which is consistent with older versions of mtools which didn't
1      know about the case bits.
1 
1 `MTOOLS_NO_VFAT'
1      If this is set to 1, mtools won't generate VFAT entries for
1      filenames which are mixed-case, but otherwise legal dos filenames.
1      This is useful when working with DOS versions which can't grok
1      VFAT long names, such as FreeDOS.
1 
1 `MTOOLS_DOTTED_DIR'
1      In a wide directory, prints the short name with a dot instead of
1      spaces separating the basename and the extension.
1 
1 `MTOOLS_NAME_NUMERIC_TAIL'
1      If this is set to one (default), generate numeric tails for all
1      long names (~1).  If set to zero, only generate numeric tails if
1      otherwise a clash would have happened.
1 
1 `MTOOLS_TWENTY_FOUR_HOUR_CLOCK'
1      If 1, uses the European notation for times (twenty four hour
1      clock), else uses the UK/US notation (am/pm)
1 
1    Example: Inserting the following line into your configuration file
1 instructs mtools to skip the sanity checks:
1        MTOOLS_SKIP_CHECK=1
1 
1    Global variables may also be set via the environment:
1        export MTOOLS_SKIP_CHECK=1
1 
1    Global string variables may be set to any value:
1 `MTOOLS_DATE_STRING'
1      The format used for printing dates of files.  By default, is
1      dd-mm-yyyy.
