NAME

       cckddiag - Hercules CCKD DASD diagnostic tool

SYNOPSIS

       cckddiag [options...] filename

DESCRIPTION

       Hercules  support  tool used to assist in the diagnosis of CCKD DASD problems.  Operates on Hercules CCKD
       DASD volumes in read-only mode, and displays various information contained in CCKD DASD files.  Effective
       usage requires internal knowledge of Hercules CCKD DASD files.

OPTIONS

       The  following  options  are  used  to  specify which portions of the CCKD DASD file are to be displayed.
       Options may not be combined; for example, -cd1 is not a valid option.  Surround each option by blank(s).

       Argument numbers may be specified either in decimal or  hexadecimal.   If  the  number  begins  with  the
       characters  0x  the  number is presumed to be hexadecimal; else the number is presumed to be decimal.  No
       numeric overflow checking is done, the user is assumed (!) to know what they're doing.

       Options are divided into three categories: global options, track-related options, and the offset option.

Global options

   filename
       specifies the Hercules CCKD DASD filename (sometimes referred to as the DASD image file)

   -v
       display version and exit

   -d
       display DEVHDR

   -c
       display CDEVHDR

   -1
       display L1TAB  (note this option is a numeric one)

   -g
       enable debug output

       To direct cckddiag to a specific track, two options are provided: -a and -r.  The remaining track-related
       options describe the kind of output desired.  The TRKHDR for the track is displayed for all track-related
       options.

   -a cc hh
       display absolute CCHH data - where cc and hh are respectively the cylinder number  (relative  zero),  and
       the head number (relative zero).

   -r tt
       display relative track data - where tt is the track number (relative zero).

   -2
       display L2TAB - requires a corresponding -a or -r specification to direct cckddiag to a specific track.

   -t
       display  track  data  -  displays  the COUNT, KEY, and DATA record summaries for the data residing on the
       indicated track.

   -x
       hex display track key/data - displays the KEY and DATA records' contents in  hexadecimal  display  format
       for the indicated track.  Some repetitive data may be omitted from the hex display output.

Offset option

       This  option  provides  the  ability  to examine any portion of the CCKD file, as an alternative to track
       specification.

   -o oo ll
       hex display data at offset oo of length ll.
