mtype为mtools工具指令，模拟MS-DOS的type指令，可显示MS-DOS文件的内容。

语法

mtype [-st][文件]

参数说明：

• -s 去除8位字符码集的第一个位，使它兼容于7位的ASCII。
• -t 将MS-DOS文本文件中的"换行+光标移至行首"字符转换成Linux的换行字符。

实例

打开名为dos.txt 的MS-DOS文件可使用如下命令：

mtype dos.txt         #打开MS-DOS 文件 

显示结果如下：

$ mtype dos.txt #打开MS-DOS 文件  
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.
