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.
