VICE is provided with a complete stand-alone disk image maintenance
utility, called c1541
.
The syntax is:
c1541 [IMAGE1 [IMAGE2]] [COMMAND1 COMMAND2 … COMMANDN]
IMAGE1
and IMAGE2
are disk image names that can be
attached before c1541
starts. c1541
can handle up to
two disk images at the same time by using two virtual built-in drives,
numbered 8
and 9
; IMAGE1
(if present) is always
attached to drive 8
, while IMAGE2
is attached to drive
9
.
COMMAND
s specified on the command-line all begin with the minus
sign (-
); if present, c1541
executes them in the same
order as they are on the command line and returns a zero error code if
they were successful. If any of the COMMAND
s fails, c1541
stops and returns a nonzero error code.
If no COMMAND
s are specified at all, c1541
enters
interactive mode, where you can type commands manually. Commands in
interactive mode are the same as commands in batch mode, but do not
require a leading -
. As with the monitor, file name completion
and command line editing with history are provided via GNU
readline
. Use the command ‘quit’ or press C-d to
exit.
