NAME
       psi - convert and modify PCE sector image files


SYNOPSIS
       psi [options] [input-file] [options] [output-file]


DESCRIPTION
       psi(1) is used to modify and convert sector images files.


OPTIONS
       -a, --alternate alt1[-alt2]
              Select a range of alternate sectors.

       -c, --cylinder cyl1[-cyl2]
              Select a range of cylinders.

       -e, --edit what val
              For all selected sectors, set sector attribute what to val.  For
              boolean attributes, a value of 0 disables the attribute and  any
              other value enables it.  Recognized attributes are:

              c      The cylinder number in the sector ID.

              crc-id The ID field contains a CRC error.

              crc-data
                     The data field contains a CRC error.

              del-dam
                     The sector has a deleted data address mark.

              data   Initialize the sector data with val.

              fm     The sector uses IBM single density FM encoding.

              gcr    The sector uses Macintosh GCR encoding.

              h      The head number in the sector ID.

              mfm    The sector uses IBM double density MFM encoding.

              mfm-hd The sector uses IBM high density MFM encoding.

              mfm-ed The sector uses IBM extra high density MFM encoding.

              no-dam The sector has a missing data address mark.

              position
                     The  sector  position  in data bits from the start of the
                     track.

              round-time
                     If the sector read time is within val/100 percent of  the
                     normal value, round it to the normal value.

              s      The sector number in the sector ID.

              size   The sector size in bytes.

              tags   If  val is zero, remove sector tags, otherwise add sector
                     tags.

              time   The sector read time, in data bits.

       -f, --info
              Print information about the current  image  or  the  next  image
              loaded.

       -F, --filler val
              Set the fill byte to val. The fill byte is used when sectors are
              created or enlarged.

       -h, --head head1[-head2]
              Select a range of heads.

       -i, --input filename
              Load an image from filename.

       -I, --input-format format
              Set the input file format to format.  Valid formats are:

              ana    The anadisk dump format.

              cp2    The Copy II PC / Snatchit disk image format. Support  for
                     this  format  is experimental. This format is only avail-
                     able as an input format.

              dc42   The Apple Disk Copy 4.2 file format.

              imd    The ImageDisk file format.

              msa    The Magic Shadow Archive image file format.

              pfdc   The PFDC file format. This has been superseded by PSI.

              psi    The native PCE sector image file format.

              raw    A raw sector dump in CHS format.

              raw-hcs
                     A raw sector dump in HCS format.

              raw-hts
                     A raw sector dump in HCS format. Additionally, the  order
                     of tracks on odd heads is reversed.

              st     The  same  as  raw, but the auto-detected disk geometries
                     are the ones common on the Atari ST.

              stx    The Pasti STX file format. This format is only  supported
                     as  an input format and some information will be lost be-
                     cause PSI does not preserve the track images that may  be
                     present in STX files.

              tc     Transcopy  dump format. Support for this format is highly
                     experimental.  This format is only available as an  input
                     format.

              td0    The  teledisk  file format. Only files that don't use ad-
                     vanced compression are supported.

              xdf    IBM XDF disk images.

       -l, --list-tracks
              List all tracks in the  current  image  or  in  the  next  image

              loaded.

       -m, --merge filename
              Load an image from filename and merge it with the current image.
              Sectors  that are identical are discarded. Sectors that exist in
              only one image are retained. Sectors that exist in both  images,
              but differ, are added as alternate sectors.

       -n, --new-dos size
              Create  a  new  DOS image of size size KiB. Valid sizes are 160,

                     mac800 Macintosh GCR 800K double sided

                     <c>/<h>/<s>
                            Any regular disk geometry

              reorder s1,s2,s3,...
                     Reorder the sectors on all selected tracks. Sectors  that
                     are  not  mentioned in the parameter are moved to the end
                     of the track.

              rotate first
                     Rotate the sectors on all selected tracks such that first
                     is the first sector on the track. If first does not exist
                     on a track, the next higher sector will be rotated to the
                     start of the track.

              save filename
                     Save  all  selected  sectors to filename. The contents of
                     the sectors are written sequentially to the file.

              sort   Sort the sectors on all selected tracks in ascending  or-
                     der.

              sort-reverse
                     Sort the sectors on all selected tracks in descending or-
                     der.

              tags-load filename
                     Load the sector tags for all selected sectors from  file-
                     name.  For each sector 12 bytes are read, in the order in
                     which the sectors appear on the track.

              tags-save filename
                     Save the sector tags for all selected  sectors  to  file-
                     name.  For each sector 12 bytes are written, in the order
                     in which the sectors appear on the track.

              weak-auto
                     Convert alternate sectors to weak bit masks. This  opera-
                     tion  compares  all alternates of a sector. All bits that
                     differ in any of them are set in the weak bit  mask.  The
                     same  mask  is added to all alternate sectors. After this
                     operation the alternate sectors can be deleted.

              weak-clear
                     Clear the weak bit mask for all selected sectors.

              weak-load filename
                     Load the weak bit mask of all selected sectors from file-
                     name.

              weak-save filename
                     Save  the  weak bit mask of all selected sectors to file-
                     name.

       -r, --record cyl1[-cyl2] head1[-head2] sect1[-sect2]
              Select sectors. This is the same as using the -c, -h and -s  op-
              tions seperately.

       -s, --sector sect1[-sect2]
              Select a range of logical sectors.

       -S, --real-sectors sect1[-sect2]
              Select a range of physical sectors.

       -t, --track cyl1[-cyl2] head1[-head2]
              Select a range of tracks. This is equivalent to using the -c and
              the -h option.

       -v, --verbose
              Enable verbose operation.

       -x, --invert
              Invert the selection.

       -z, --clear
              Clear the selection.

       --help Print usage information.

       --version
              Print version information.


EXAMPLES
       Convert an ImageDisk file to a PSI file:

              $ psi source.imd dest.psi

       Get image information:

              $ psi -f image.psi

       Add sectors 10 and 11 to all tracks on side 0:

              $ psi -i source.psi -r all 0 10-11 -p new -o dest.psi

       Mark the first sector in the image as having a bad data CRC:

              $ psi -i source.psi -r 0 0 1 -e crc-data 1 -o dest.psi

       Set the image comment:

              $ psi -i source.psi -p comment-set "Test image" -o dest.psi
