NAME
     dskdump - Sector-level copy from one floppy or image file to another

SYNOPSIS
     dskdump  [-itype  TYPE]  [-otype  TYPE] [-iside SIDE] [-oside SIDE] [-icomp
     COMP] [-ocomp  COMP]  [-idstep]  [-odstep]  [-retry  COUNT]  [-format  FMT]
     [-first CYLINDER] [-last CYLINDER] INPUT-IMAGE OUTPUT-IMAGE

DESCRIPTION
     Dskdump  copies  floppy discs or images, optionally converting image types.
     Unlike dsktrans(1), dskdump can handle  discs  with  different  numbers  or
     sizes of sector on different tracks.

OPTIONS
     -itype TYPE
	    Determines which driver is to be used to read from the source disc.

	    auto    Select  according  to  the	disc image file. This is the de-
		    fault.

	    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.)

	    apridisk
		    Use  the ApriDisk image driver (from the utility of the same
		    name).  (This format cannot be autodetected.)

	    raw     Use the raw driver.

     -otype TYPE
	    Determines which driver is to be used to write  to	the  destination
	    disc. The drivers are as for -itype.

     -icomp 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 de-
		    fault.

	    sq	    Huffman coded (SQ / USQ).

	    gz	    Gzipped (gzip / gunzip).

	    bz2     Burrows-Wheeler compressed (bzip2 / bunzip2).

     -ocomp COMP
	    Select the compression to be used on output. Compression methods are
	    as for -icomp, except that bz2 cannot be used.

     -iside SIDE
	    Determines which side (0 or 1) of the source  disc	is  to	be  read
	    from.

     -oside SIDE
	    Determines	which  side  (0  or  1) of the destination disc is to be
	    written to.

     -idstep
	    Double-step the source drive (used to read 360k discs in 1.2Mb  dri-
	    ves). Only supported by the Linux floppy driver.

     -odstep
	    Double-step the destination drive (used to write 360k discs in 1.2Mb
	    drives).  Only supported by the Linux floppy driver.

     -retry COUNT
	    Set  the  number  of times to attempt a read/write/format in case of
	    error.

     -format FMT
	    Do not autodetect the disc format; use the	named  format.	 dskdump
	    does  not  make extensive use of the disc format; it is chiefly used
	    to provide a guess at the number of tracks to dump.

     -first CYL
	    Start copying at the specified cylinder.  Cylinders  prior	to  this
	    will not be formatted or written.

     -last CYL
	    Copy up to and including the specified cylinder.

     -odstep
	    Double-step the destination drive (used to write 360k discs in 1.2Mb
	    drives).  Only supported by the Linux floppy driver.
