cmddump(1) General Commands Manual cmddump(1)

Name

cmddump - simulated TRS-80 CMD file loader

Synopsis

cmddump [-d] [-i n] [-m] [-p entry] [-q] [-s] [-t] [-x] infile [outfile startbyte nbytes]

Description

cmddump displays information about TRS-80 DOS CMD (binary executable) files. It takes a mandatory input CMD file infile, and an optional triplet of arguments: an output file outfile, a starting offset of startbyte into the CMD file infile, and a number of bytes to dump, nbytes. If startbytes is specified, the given byte range is dumped from the simulated memory after loading.

The numeric arguments, including that to the option -i, may be given in any format recognized by strtol(3); in other words, traditional C literals for decimal, octal, and hexadecimal.

Options

The optional arguments and their parameters direct cmddump as follows.
-d
print detailed map; same as -m, but do not coalesce adjacent blocks
-i n
select ISAM entry n
-m
print running load map as file is parsed, coalescing adjacent blocks (implies -t); default
-p entry
select PDS entry entry; cmddump will truncate or right-pad entry with spaces, as needed, to the required fixed field width
-q
quiet; turns off -d, -m, -s, and -t (later flags can override)
-s
print summary load map after file is parsed
-t
print text of module headers, PDS headers, patch names, and copyright notices
-x
ignore anything after the first transfer address
