Linux Command Manual

mtype is a command in the mtools utility that simulates the MS-DOS type command, allowing you to display the contents of MS-DOS files.

Syntax

mtype [-st][file]

Parameter Description:

-s Removes the first bit of the 8-bit character set, making it compatible with 7-bit ASCII.
-t Converts the "newline + carriage return" characters in MS-DOS text files to Linux newline characters.

Example

To open an MS-DOS file named dos.txt, you can use the following command:

mtype dos.txt         # Open MS-DOS file

The output is as follows:

$ mtype dos.txt # Open MS-DOS file  
Linux networks are becoming more and more common, but security is often an overlooked  
issue. Unfortunately, in today’s environment all networks are potential hacker targets,  
from top-secret military research networks to small home LANs.  
Linux Network Securty focuses on securing Linux in a networked environment, where the  
security of the entire network needs to be considered rather than just isolated machines.  
It uses a mix of theory and practicl techniques to teach administrators how to install and  
use security applications, as well as how the applcations work and why they are necessary.
