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 confi-
guration 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 approx-
imative, and some items, such as crossreferences, footnotes
and indices are lost in this translation process. Indeed,
these items have no appropriate representation in the man-
page 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://mtools.linux.lu' and also at:
`http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'
* 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.
