.TH MKMANIFEST 1 local.SH NAMEmkmanifest \- create a shell script to restore Unix filenames.SH SYNOPSIS.B mkmanifest[ files ].SH DESCRIPTION.I Mkmanifestcreates a shell script that will aid in the restoration of Unix filenamesthat got clobbered by the MSDOS filename restrictions.  MSDOS filenamesare restricted to 8 character names, 3 character extensions, upper caseonly, no device names, and no illegal characters..PPThe mkmanifest program is compatible with the methods used in.I pcomm, arc,and.I mtoolsto change perfectly good Unix filenames to fit the MSDOS restrictions..SH EXAMPLEI want to copy the following Unix files to a MSDOS diskette (using the.I mcopycommand)..PP.in +0.5i.nfvery_long_name2.many.dotsillegal:good.cprn.devCapital.fi.in.PP.I Mcopywill convert the names to:.PP.in +0.5i.nfvery_lon2xmany.dotillegalxgood.cxprn.devcapital.fi.in.PPThe command:.PPmkmanifest very_long_name 2.many.dots illegal: good.c prn.dev Capital >manifest.PPwould produce the following:.PP.in +0.5i.nfmv very_lon very_long_namemv 2xmany.dot 2.many.dotsmv illegalx illegal:mv xprn.dev prn.devmv capital Capital.fi.in.PPNotice that "good.c" did not require any conversion, so it did not appearin the output..PPSuppose I've copied these files from the diskette to another Unixsystem, and I now want the files back to their original names.  If thefile "manifest" (the output captured above) was sent along with thosefiles, it could be used to convert the filenames..SH SEE ALSOarc(1), pcomm(1), mtools(1)
