   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.
