DESCRIPTION

The dosdel command deletes the DOS file specified by file.  Use the -v flag to
obtain format information about the disk.

File-naming conventions are the same as DOS, with one exception:  the doswrite
command replaces the \ (backslash) character used to separate components of a
DOS path name with the / (slash) character.  The dosdel command converts
lowercase characters in the file parameter to uppercase before it checks the
disk.  Because the file name is assumed to be the full (not relative) path
name, you need not add the initial / (slash).

FLAGS

-D  device   Specifies a device or file system to use as the DOS disk.  If you
             do not specify this flag, the default device is /dev/fd0.

-v           Writes format information about the disk.  Use primarily to verify
             the identify of a disk or file system as a DOS disk.
