       c1541 - a stand alone disk image maintenance program

SYNOPSIS

       c1541 [options] [image]

DESCRIPTION

       c1541  is  a  stand  alone  program  that  can  be  used  for  D64, D71, D81, X64 and G64 disk image file
       maintenance.  It is part of the VICE emulator.

       c1541 can be used both in interactive and batch mode.  It will start in interactive mode if no images and
       no options are specified or if one image is specified; when started in  interactive  mode,  command  line
       editing and command history are available.

       Each  command  line  option  for  use in batch mode has an interactive mode counterpart, that is shown in
       parenthesis.

       -attach image (attach image)
               attach image for use.  All consequent commands in interactive mode will refer to this image.

       -detach image (detach image)
               detach image from c1541.

       -format image (format image 'name,id')
              format the disk image image with the specified label.  image is created if it does not exist.

       -delete image files... (delete files...)
              delete files from image

       -list image (list)
              list directory of image.

       -validate image (validate)
              validate mage.

       -copy image oldname1 [oldname2...] newname (copy oldname1 [oldname2...] newname)
              concatenate oldname1, oldname2... into newname on image (can be used to copy files).

       -create image dump ['descr'] (create image dump ['descr']
              build image from raw dump file dump (i.e. convert from D64 to X64 file).

       -tape image tapeimage [files...] (tape image tapeimage [files...])
              transfer files from tapeimage to image (default is all files).

       -read image 1541name [fsname] (read 1541name [fsname])
              extract 1541name from the disk image into fsname (1541name by default) from image.

       -extract image (extract).
              extract all files from image.

       -write image fsname [1541name] (write fsname [1541name])
              write fsname to image as 1541name (fsname by default).  (works with P00 files as well).

       -block [drive:] [track] [sector] [disp] (block [drive:] [track] [sector] [disp])
              show disk blocks in hex format.

       -info image ['descr'] (info ['descr'])
              show version information about image.

       When more than one command is specified in batch mode, all of them are executed in the  same  order  they
       have on the command line.

       If you use - as a file name, it stands for stdin or stdout.
