NAME

dskparse - diagnostic dump of disc image file

SYNOPSIS

dskparse [-type TYPE] [-comp COMP] DISKIMAGE [DSKIMAGE...]

DESCRIPTION

Dskparse reads a disk image file and outputs an annotated hex dump showing its contents. The exact format of the output depends on what type of file is being examined.

OPTIONS

-type TYPE
Determines which LibDsk driver is to be used to parse the file.
auto
Select according to the disc image file. This is the default.
dsk
Use the DSK (CPCEmu format) image driver.
edsk
Use the extended version of the DSK format.
floppy
Use the floppy driver.
myz80
Use the hard disk (MYZ80 format) image driver. (This format cannot be autodetected.)
cfi
Use the CFI (DOS fdcopy format) image driver. (This format cannot be autodetected.)
raw
Use the raw driver.

-types
List all disk image types supported by this version of LibDsk.

-comp COMP
Select the compression method used on the source disc image file (has no effect when reading a floppy disc).
auto
Detect from the first few bytes of the file. This is the default.
sq
Huffman coded (SQ / USQ).
gz
Gzipped (gzip / gunzip).
bz2
Burrows-Wheeler compressed (bzip2 / bunzip2).

BUGS

dskparse will not produce any output if used on a real floppy drive rather than a disk image file. It will also not produce any output if run against a .LDBST disk image, since .LDBST files are already human-readable text.
