NAME

       libspectrum — Sinclair ZX Spectrum support library

DESCRIPTION

       libspectrum  is  a  library  for  reading  and  writing some of the file formats used by emulators of the
       Sinclair ZX Spectrum. It also contains routines providing information about the various  Spectrum  clones
       which were available.

       The file formats currently supported by libspectrum are:

       • Snapshots: .z80, .szx, .sna (all read/write), .zxs, .sp., .snp and +D snapshots (read only).

       • Tape images: .tzx, .tap, .spc, .sta, .ltp (read/write) and .pzx, Warajevo .tap, Z80Em and CSW version 1
         (read only).

       • Input recordings: .rzx (read/write).

       • Disk images: .dsk (both plain and extended), .d40, .d80, .fdi, .img, .mgt, .opd, .sad, .scl, .td0, .trd
         and .udi (identification only).

       • Timex cartridges: .dck (read only).

       • IDE hard disk images: .hdf (read/write).

       • Microdrive cartridge images: .mdr (read/write).

       Additionally, any files compressed with bzip2(3), gzip(3) or zip(3) can be read and will be transparently
       decompressed.

       Full documentation for libspectrum is provided in `libspectrum.txt'.
