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

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.

-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).

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.
