DOSREAD(1)                  General Commands 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 3 convention.  See dosdir  on
       the use of single letter drive codes.

                                                                    DOSREAD(1)
