🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so, this manual page documents briefly the xdms command. Brief. Iconic. No notes. 💅

xdms is a tool for decompressing Amiga DMS files. DMS files contain disk images that are, these days, mainly useful for Amiga emulation. It can unpack DMS images to ADF images. That's the whole vibe — it's giving time machine, but for floppy disks. 🧚✨

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -d destdir — unpack to a separate destination directory. Your files, your place, your rules. 🏠
• -f — override errors. Useful for desperate data salvaging. Like, desperate desperate. We're in the trenches, bestie. 😭
• -p passwd — decrypt with a password. 🔐
• -q — be quiet. Shhh. 🤫
• -v — be verbose. Not me wanting all the tea. ☕

---

🌈 Examples 🌈

To unpack a DMS file, do:

xdms u foo.dms

That's it. That's the whole thing. Slay. ✨
