✨ akaidump(1) — libgig tools 💖

okay bestie, let's talk about akaidump 🎀 It's the tool that reads an AKAI media (think CDROM, ZIP drive, or straight off an AKAI hard disk drive) and saves the whole thing as an AKAI disk image file on your HD. Faster reuse later, no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

akaiextract SOURCE DESTFILE

Hmm, babe, notice that the synopsis says akaiextract even though this page is for akaidump. That's exactly how the original reads, so I'm keeping it verbatim 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the vibe is: it reads an AKAI media (from a CDROM drive, a ZIP drive, or directly from an AKAI hard disk drive) and writes it out as an AKAI disk image file on your hard disc drive. Way more convenient and faster for future use. It's giving efficiency 🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• SOURCE — okay this one depends on where you're at 🧚
  • On Windows: it's the drive letter of the source disk drive you want to read from.
  • On POSIX systems (Linux, Mac): it's the path to the input source. This can be an AKAI disk image file already sitting on your HD, or a disk drive path like '/dev/cdrom'.
  • On Mac: you can omit this argument, and it'll automatically access the CDROM drive at '/dev/rdisk1s0' 💜
• DESTFILE — the target filename you want the AKAI disk image written to 🍓

💜 AUTHOR 💜

This program and its library are based on Sébastien Métrot's libakai. This is a fork of libakai and its tools, which now also supports LINUX and other POSIX compliant operating systems. It does not have a dependency on libngl the way the original libakai did. The Linux port and man page were written by Christian Schoenebeck <cuse@users.sf.net> 🫶
