DESCRIPTION
mlabel displays the current volume label, if present. If new_label is not given, and if neither the c nor the s OPTIONS are set, it prompts the user for a new volume label. To delete an existing volume label, press return at the prompt.
mlabel supports the following command-line option:
| v | Verbose mode. Display the new volume label if the label supplied is invalid. |
| c | Clears an existing label, without prompting the user. |
| s | Shows the existing label, without prompting the user. |
Reasonable care is taken to create a valid MS-DOS volume label. If an invalid label is specified, mlabel will change the label (and display the new label if the verbose mode is set).
Mlabel returns 0 on success or 1 on failure.

mmount—Mount an MS-DOS disk
SYNOPSIS
mmount msdosdrive [mountargs]
DESCRIPTION
mmount reads the boot sector of an MS-DOS disk, configures the drive geometry, and finally mounts it, passing mountargs to mount. If no mount arguments are specified, the name of the device is used. If the disk is write-protected, it is automatically mounted read-only.

mmove—Move or rename an existing MS-DOS file or subdirectory
SYNOPSIS
mmove [ -voOsSrRA ] sourcefile targetfile mmove [ -voOsSrRA ] sourcefile [ sourceFILES... ] targetdirectory
DESCRIPTION
mmove moves or renames an existing MS-DOS file or subdirectory.
mmove will allow the following command-line option:
| v | Verbose mode. Display the new filename if the name supplied is invalid. |
Additionally, it allows the clash-handling OPTIONS described in the man page for mtools.
MS-DOS subdirectory names are supported with either the / or \ separator. The use of the \ separator or wildcards will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to protect them from the shell. Unlike the MS-DOS version of MOVE, mmove is able to move subdirectories.

more—File perusal filter for crt viewing
SYNOPSIS
more [-dlfpcsu] [-num] [+/ pattern] [+ linenum]
DESCRIPTION
more is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time. This version is especially primitive. Users should realize that less(1) provides more(1) emulation and extensive enhancements.
OPTIONS
Command-line OPTIONS are described in the following list. OPTIONS are also taken from the ENVIRONMENT variable MORE (make sure to precede them with a hyphen (-)) but command-line OPTIONS will override them.
| -num | This option specifies an integer that is the screen size (in lines). |
| -d | more will prompt the user with the message [Press space to continue, `q' to quit.] and will display [Press `h' for instructions.] instead of ringing the bell when an illegal key is pressed. |
| -l | more usually treats (form feed) as a special character, and will pause after any line that contains a form feed. The -l option will prevent this behavior. |
| -f | Causes more to count logical, rather than screen lines (that is, long lines are not folded). |
| -p | Do not scroll. Instead, clear the whole screen and then display the text. |
| -c | Do not scroll. Instead, paint each screen from the top, clearing the remainder of each line as it is displayed. |
Page 328
| -s | Squeeze multiple blank lines into one. |
| -u | Suppress underlining. |
| +/ | The +/ option specifies a string that will be searched for before each file is displayed. |
| +num | Start at line number. |
Commands
Interactive commands for more are based on vi(1). Some commands may be preceded by a decimal number, called k in the following DESCRIPTIONs. In the following DESCRIPTIONs, ^X means control-X.
| h or ? | Help: display a summary of these commands. If you forget all the other commands, remember this one. |
| SPACE | Display next k lines of text. Defaults to current screen size. |
| z | Display next k lines of text. Defaults to current screen size. Argument becomes new default. |
| RETURN | Display next k lines of text. Defaults to 1. Argument becomes new default. |
| d or ^D | Scroll k lines. Default is current scroll size, initially 11. Argument becomes new default. |
| q or Q INTERRUPT | Exit. |
| s | Skip forward k lines of text. Defaults to 1. |
| f | Skip forward k screenfuls of text. Defaults to 1. |
| b or ^B | Skip backwards k screenfuls of text. Defaults to 1. |
| ` | Go to place where previous search started. |
| = | Display current line number. |
| /pattern | Search for kth occurrence of regular expression. Defaults to 1. |
| n | Search for kth occurrence of last r.e. Defaults to 1. |
| !<cmd> or :!<cmd> | Execute <cmd> in a subshell. |
| v | Start up /usr/bin/vi at current line. |
| ^L | Redraw screen. |
| :n | Go to kth next file. Defaults to 1. |
| :p | Go to kth previous file. Defaults to 1. |
| Ic :f | Display current filename and line number. |
| . | Repeat previous command. |
ENVIRONMENT
more utilizes the following ENVIRONMENT variables, if they exist:
| MORE | This variable may be set with favored OPTIONS to more. |
| SHELL | Current shell in use (normally set by the shell at login time). |
| TERM | Specifies terminal type, used by more to get the terminal characteristics necessary to manipulate the screen. |

HISTORY
The more command appeared in BSD 3.0. This man page documents more version 5.19 (Berkeley 29 June 1988), which is currently in use in the Linux community. Documentation was produced using several other versions of the man page, and extensive inspection of the source code.
