| Theodore Ts'o | 583a1ce | 2002-05-11 13:00:22 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3 | .SH NAME |
| 4 | ext2ed \- ext2 file system editor |
| 5 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
| 6 | .B ext2ed |
| 7 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 8 | .B ext2ed |
| 9 | in an |
| 10 | .B editor |
| 11 | for the |
| 12 | .B second extended filesystem. |
| 13 | Its aim is to show you the various internal filesystem structures in an |
| 14 | intuitive form so that you would be able to easily understand and modify |
| 15 | them. |
| 16 | .SH DOCUMENTATION |
| 17 | The documentation is not available in man page format. Instead, I have |
| 18 | written three articles which are related to ext2ed: |
| 19 | |
| 20 | The first article is |
| 21 | .B The user's guide. |
| 22 | This article explains how to use ext2ed. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | The second article is |
| 25 | .B The Ext2fs overview. |
| 26 | This article gives an overview of internal structure of the ext2 filesystem. |
| 27 | You need to understand the internal layout in order to effectively edit |
| 28 | your filesystem. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | The third article is |
| 31 | .B EXT2ED - Design and implementation. |
| 32 | This article explains how I constructed ext2ed. You may want to have a look |
| 33 | in it if you plan to view or modify the source code. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | .SH WARNING |
| 36 | |
| 37 | .B |
| 38 | Do not use ext2ed on a mounted filesystem. |
