Name

       mtoolstest - tests and displays the configuration

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 mtoolstest command is used to tests the mtools configuration files.
       To invoke it, just type mtoolstest without any  arguments.   Mtoolstest
       reads  the  mtools  configuration  files,  and  prints  the  cumulative
       configuration to stdout. The output can be used as a configuration file
       itself  (although you might want to remove redundant clauses).  You may
       use this program to convert  old-style  configuration  files  into  new
       style configuration files.

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 crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
       translation  process.   Indeed,  these  items   have   no   appropriate
       representation  in  the  manpage format.  Moreover, not all information
       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

       *      To generate a html copy,  run:

                     ./configure; make html

              A       premade       html       can       be      found      at
              ‘http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html’

       *      To generate an info copy (browsable  using  emacs’  info  mode),
              run:

                     ./configure; make info

       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.
