IMGCOPY(1)

💾 IMGCOPY(1) — the imgcopy manual, bestie edition 💅

okay so this is the manual page for imgcopy (that's the program name, section 1 of the manual, iykyk) and honestly? it's giving disk-image royalty. let's get into it ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

imgcopy — the manual page for imgcopy 0.4.99.103. that's it, that's the name, periodt 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

imgcopy [OPTION]... [SOURCE] [TARGET]

like, options first, then where it's coming from, then where it's going. simple as that, no cap 🌸

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the whole vibe: imgcopy copies .d82 and .d80 disk images to a CBM-8050 or compatible drive — and vice versa, bestie, it goes both ways 🔁. it also copies .d81 disk images to a 1581 or compatible drive, and again, vice versa 💫

the extension of the Imagfile selects the Imagefiletype — like .d64, .d71, .d80, .d81, .d82. the file tells you what it is, main character energy fr fr 👑

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• -h, --help — shows this help and dips out. bye 👋
• -V, --version — prints the version info and exits. cute.
• -@, --adapter=plugin:bus — tells OpenCBM which backend plugin and which bus to use 🚌
• -q, --quiet — quiet output. shhh 🤫
• -v, --verbose — controls verbosity — and you can repeat it, up to 3 times. go off, stack those -vs 🗣️
• -n, --no-progress — don't show progress info. no little bar for you 🙈
• -s, --start-track=TRACK — sets the start track 🛤️
• -e, --end-track=TRACK — sets the end track, and the rule is start <= end <= 77 / 154 (yes, that's literally the constraint, don't come for me) 📏
• -t, --transfer=TRANSFER — sets the transfermode. valid modes are auto (that's the default) and original (the slowest one, bless its heart 🐌). 'auto' tries to determine the best option — it's out here doing the thinking for you, iconic 🧠✨
• -i, --interleave=VALUE — sets the interleave value. it's ignored when reading with warp mode 🚀. default values are:
  • original — 22

also, INTERLEAVE is ignored when reading with warp mode (yes, said it twice, it's that serious 💀); if data transfer is very slow, increasing this value may help 🐢➡️🐇

• -w, --warp — enables warp mode. not possible if TRANSFER is set to 'original'. and it's the default if transfer is not 'original' — so you probably already have it, slay ⚡
• --no-warp — disables warp mode. this is the default if TRANSFER is set to 'original'. back to normal speed, bestie 🚶‍♀️
• -b, --bam-only — BAM-only copy; only the allocated blocks get copied. selective queen 💅
• -B, --bam-save — save BAM-only copy. it's like the '-b' option but it always copies the entire directory track. the whole thing, no crumbs 🍰
• -d, --drive-type=TYPE — specify the drive type. your options are: 1541, 1571, 1581 2031, 2040, 3040, 4031, 4040 8050, 8250, 1001 🖨️
• -r, --retry-count=COUNT — sets the retry count. keep trying, we love persistence 🔁
• -E, --error-map=WHEN — controls whether the error map is appended. possible values for WHEN are (abbreviations available 🫶):
  • always
  • on_errors — this one's the default ⭐
  • never
• -1, --one-sided — one-sided disk transfer (.d80) for CBM-8050. half the disk, all the drama 🌗
• -2, --two-sided — two-sided disk transfer (.d82). requires CBM-8250 or SFD-1001 — no substitutions, it's a whole requirement 🚨
