DESCRIPTION

       Dskid is a utility which will identify how a disc (or image) is formatted. It reports  the
       required driver and various information about the disc geometry.

OPTIONS

       -type TYPE
              Determines which driver is to be used.

              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.

       -retry COUNT
              Set the number of times to attempt to read the disc in case of error.

       -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).
