+.\"
+.SH NAME
+e2tools \-  utilities to manipulate files in an ext2/ext3 filesystem
+.\"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+E2tools is a simple set of GPL'ed utilities to read, write, and
+manipulate files in an ext2/ext3 filesystem. These utilities access a
+filesystem directly using the ext2fs library. I wrote these tools in order
+to copy files into a linux filesystem on a machine that does not have ext2
+support. Of course, they can also be used on a linux machine to read/write
+to disk images or floppies without having to mount them or have root
+access.
+.PP
+Supported functionality:
+.TP
+.B e2cp
+copy files
+.TP
+.B e2mv
+move files
+.TP
+.B e2rm
+remove files
+.TP
+.B e2mkdir
+create directory
+.TP
+.B e2ln
+create hard links
+.TP
+.B e2ls
+list files/directories
+.TP
+.B e2tail
+output the last part of a file
+.PP
+In general, to specify a directory or file on an ext2 filesystem for the
+e2tools utilities, use the following form:
+.IP
+filesystem:directory_path
+.PP
+The filesystem can be an unmounted partition or a regular file that's been
+formatted to contain an ext2 filesystem.  In general, if a command takes
+multiple file names on the command line, if the first one contains an ext2
+file specification, the rest of the files are assumed to be on the same
+filesystem until another one is explicitly stated:
+.IP
+/tmp/boot.img:/tmp/file1
+.IP
+/tmp/file2
+.IP
+/tmp/file3
+.IP
+/tmp/boot2.img:/tmp/file4
+.PP
+Files 1-3 are on /tmp/boot.img and the last file is on /tmp/boot2.img
