DISKIMAGE
DESCRIPTION
Dskscan scans a floppy disc (or a disc image) and prints any
sector headers that it finds. It does not attempt to read the sectors.
OPTIONS
- -type TYPE
-
Determines which driver is to be used to read from the disc.
-
- 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.)
- apridisk
-
Use the ApriDisk image driver (from the utility of the same name).
(This format cannot be autodetected.)
- raw
-
Use the raw driver.
- -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).
- -side SIDE
-
Determines which side (0 or 1) of the source disc is to be scanned. If this
option is not present both sides will be scanned.
- -dstep
-
Double-step the source drive (used to read 360k discs in 1.2Mb drives). Only
supported by the Linux floppy driver.
- -retry COUNT
-
Set the number of times to attempt a read/write/format in case of error.
- -format FMT
-
Do not autodetect the disc format; use the named format. The format need only
be an approximation to the actual format used by the disc.
- -first CYL
-
Start scanning at the specified cylinder.
- -last CYL
-
Scan up to and including the specified cylinder.
- -xml
-
Output results as XML rather than as text; if you are launching
dskscan
from another program which then parses what
dskscan
prints, this may be easier for it to cope with.
