mread(1)                            CLIX                            mread(1)



  NAME

    mread - Reads or copies an MS-DOS file to CLIX

  SYNOPSIS

    mread [-tnm] msdosfile clixfile

    mread [-tnm] msdosfile [msdosfiles... ] clixdirectory

  FLAGS

    -t   Transfers a text file.  The mread command translates incoming
         carriage return/line feeds to line feeds.

    -n   Suppresses warning messages.  The mread command will not warn the
         user when overwriting an existing file.

    m    Preserves the file modification times

  DESCRIPTION

    The mread command copies a specified MS-DOS file to the named CLIX file.
    The mread command can also copy multiple MS-DOS files to the named CLIX
    directory.  MS-DOS subdirectories are supported with either the slash (/)
    or '\' separator.  The use of the '\' separator or wildcards will require
    the names to be enclosed in quotes to protect them from the shell.

  NOTES

    If the target file already exists, and the -n option is not in effect,
    mread asks whether or not to overwrite the file.

    The environmental variable MCWD may be used to establish a current working
    directory (relative to the MS-DOS disk).

    Wildcards are only applied to filenames, not to directory names.  Unlike
    MS-DOS, the destination directory may not be omitted.

    The environmental variable FLOPPY may be used to establish a default
    floppy drive other than the device currently linked to /dev/rdsk/fl.
    Valid choices include /dev/rdsk/floppy to designate a 5.25-inch drive, or
    /dev/rdsk/ufloppy to designate a 3.5-inch drive.

  CAUTIONS

    This command is a low-level command used by the mcopy command.  Use the
    mcopy command instead of this command.
