| .SH NAME |
| ext2ed \- ext2 file system editor |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B ext2ed |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .B ext2ed |
| in an |
| .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 |
| |
| .B |
| Do not use ext2ed on a mounted filesystem. |
