## Note of warning

           This   manpage   has  been  automatically  generated  from
           mtools's texinfo documentation, and may  not  be  entirely
           accurate  or  complete.   See the end of this man page for
           details.

## Description

           The mcat command is used to copy an entire disk image from
           or to the floppy device. It uses the following syntax:

           mcat [-w] drive:

           Mcat performs the same task as the unix cat command. It is
           included into the mtools package, since cat cannot  access
           remote floppy devices offered by the mtools floppy daemon.
           Now it is possible to create boot floppies remotely.

           The default operation is reading. The output is written to
           stdout.

           If  the  -w  option  is specified, mcat reads a disk-image
           from stdin and writes it to the given  device.   Use  this
           carefully! Because of the lowlevel nature of this command,
           it will happily destroy any data  written  before  on  the
           disk without warning!

## Viewing the texi doc

           This   manpage   has  been  automatically  generated  from
           mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this  process  is
           only  approximative,  and  some items, such as crossrefer
           ences, footnotes and indices are lost in this  translation
           process.   Indeed,  these items have no appropriate repre
           sentation in the manpage format.  Moreover, not all infor
           mation has been translated into the manpage version.  Thus
           I strongly advise you to use  the  original  texinfo  doc.
           See  the  end of this manpage for instructions how to view
           the texinfo doc.

           *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo  doc,
                  run the following commands:

                         ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

           The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
           Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult
           to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.
