NAME
       dskscan - Scan a	floppy disc for	sector headers

SYNOPSIS
       dskscan	[-type TYPE] [-side SIDE] [-comp COMP] [-dstep]	[-retry	COUNT]
       [-format	FMT] [-first CYLINDER] [-last CYLINDER]	[-xml] DISKIMAGE
DESCRIPTION
       Dskscan scans a floppy disc (or a disc image)  and  prints  any	sector
       headers that it finds. It does not attempt to read the sectors.

OPTIONS
       -type TYPE
	      Determines which driver is to be used to read from the 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.

       -comp 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
		      default.

	      sq      Huffman coded (SQ	/ USQ).

	      gz      Gzipped (gzip / gunzip).

	      bz2     Burrows-Wheeler compressed (bzip2	/ bunzip2).

       -side SIDE
	      Determines which side (0 or 1) of	 the  source  disc  is	to  be
	      scanned.	If  this  option  is  not  present  both sides will be
	      scanned.

       -dstep Double-step the source drive (used to read 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.  The
	      format  need  only be an approximation to	the actual format used
	      by the disc.

       -first CYL
	      Start scanning at	the specified cylinder.

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

       -xml   Output results as	XML rather than	as text; if you	are  launching
	      dskscan  from  another  program  which  then parses what dskscan
	      prints, this may be easier for it	to cope	with.
