DOSREAD(1) Minix Programmer's Manual DOSREAD(1)
NAME
dosread - read a file from an MS-DOS diskette [IBM]
SYNOPSIS
dosread [-a] drive file
OPTIONS
-a ASCII file
EXAMPLES
dosread C g/adv >adv
# Read file g/adv from hard disk
dosread -a A prog.c >x
# Read ASCII file prog.c from drive A
DESCRIPTION
Dosread reads one MS-DOS file and writes it on standard output. The file
name must use slash, not backslash as a separator. ASCII files have the
final CTRL-Z stripped, and carriage return plus line feed are mapped to
line feed only, the usual MINIX convention. See dosdir on the use of
single letter drive codes.
