.SH SYNOPSIS

|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.B ext2ed

in an
|
2002-05-12 01:00:22 +08:00
|
|
|
.B editor
|
|
|
|
for the
|
|
|
|
.B second extended filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Its aim is to show you the various internal filesystem structures in an
|
|
|
|
intuitive form so that you would be able to easily understand and modify
|
|
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
.SH DOCUMENTATION
|
|
|
|
The documentation is not available in man page format. Instead, I have
|
|
|
|
written three articles which are related to ext2ed:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first article is
|
|
|
|
.B The user's guide.
|
|
|
|
This article explains how to use ext2ed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The second article is
|
|
|
|
.B The Ext2fs overview.
|
|
|
|
This article gives an overview of internal structure of the ext2 filesystem.
|
|
|
|
You need to understand the internal layout in order to effectively edit
|
|
|
|
your filesystem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The third article is
|
|
|
|
.B EXT2ED - Design and implementation.
|
|
|
|
This article explains how I constructed ext2ed. You may want to have a look
|
|
|
|
in it if you plan to view or modify the source code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH WARNING

|
|
|
|
|
