+.SH Description
+.PP
+\&\fR\&\f(CWMattrib\fR is used to change MS-DOS file attribute bits. It has the
+following syntax:
+.PP
+\&\fR\&\f(CWmattrib\fR [\fR\&\f(CW-a|+a\fR] [\fR\&\f(CW-h|+h\fR] [\fR\&\f(CW-r|+r\fR]
+[\fR\&\f(CW-s|+s\fR] [\fR\&\f(CW-/\fR] [\fR\&\f(CW-p\fR] [\fR\&\f(CW-X\fR] \fImsdosfile\fR [ \fImsdosfiles\fR \&... ]
+.PP
+\&\fR\&\f(CWMattrib\fR adds attribute bits to an MS-DOS file (with the
+`\fR\&\f(CW+\fR' operator) or remove attribute bits (with the `\fR\&\f(CW-\fR'
+operator).
+.PP
+\&\fR\&\f(CWMattrib\fR supports the following attribute bits:
+.TP
+\&\fR\&\f(CWa\fR\
+Archive bit. Used by some backup programs to indicate a new file.
+.TP
+\&\fR\&\f(CWr\fR\
+Read-only bit. Used to indicate a read-only file. Files with this bit
+set cannot be erased by \fR\&\f(CWDEL\fR nor modified.
+.TP
+\&\fR\&\f(CWs\fR\
+System bit. Used by MS-DOS to indicate a operating system file.
+.TP
+\&\fR\&\f(CWh\fR\
+Hidden bit. Used to make files hidden from \fR\&\f(CWDIR\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fR\&\f(CWMattrib\fR supports the following command line flags:
+.TP
+\&\fR\&\f(CW/\fR\
+Recursive. Recursively list the attributes of the files in the subdirectories.
+.TP
+\&\fR\&\f(CWX\fR\
+Concise. Prints the attributes without any whitespace padding. If
+neither the "/" option is given, nor the \fImsdosfile\fR contains a
+wildcard, and there is only one MS-DOS file parameter on the command
+line, only the attribute is printed, and not the filename. This option
+is convenient for scripts
+.TP
+\&\fR\&\f(CWp\fR\
+Replay mode. Outputs a series of \fR\&\f(CWmformat\fR commands that will
+reproduce the current situation, starting from a situation as left by
+untarring the MS-DOS file system. Commands are only output for
+attribute settings that differ from the default (archive bit set for
+files, unset for directories). This option is intended to be used in
+addition to tar. The \fR\&\f(CWreadonly\fR attribute is not taken into
+account, as tar can set that one itself.

+.SH Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc
+This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
+documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
+items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
+translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate
+representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has
+been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to
+use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for
+instructions how to view the texinfo doc.

+The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
+the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
+quoting conventions used in info.
