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.
