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'.
