mtools: mcat

1 4.5 Mcat
1 ========

1 The `mcat' command is used to copy an entire disk image from or to the
1 floppy device. It uses the following syntax:
1
1 `mcat' [`-w'] DRIVE`:'
1
1 `Mcat' performs the same task as the Unix `cat' command. It is
1 included into the mtools package, since `cat' cannot access remote
1 floppy devices offered by the mtools floppy daemon. Now it is possible
1 to create boot floppies remotely.
1
1 The default operation is reading. The output is written to stdout.
1
1 If the `-w' option is specified, mcat reads a disk-image from stdin
1 and writes it to the given device. *Use this carefully!* Because of
1 the low-level nature of this command, it will happily destroy any data
1 written before on the disk without warning!
