Example Usage
=============

Basic usage is::

    atrcopy DISK_IMAGE <global options> COMMAND <command options>

where the available commands include:

* ``list``: list files on the disk image. This is the default if no command is specified
* ``create``: create a new disk image
* ``add``: add files to a disk image
* ``extract``: copy files from the disk image to the local file system
* ``assemble``: create a binary file from ATasm source, optionally including segments containing raw binary data
* ``delete``: delete files from the disk image
* ``vtoc``: show and manipulate the VTOC for images that support it

The ``DISK_IMAGE`` is always required which points to the path on your local
file system of the disk image.  ``COMMAND`` is one of the commands listed
above, and the commands may be abbreviated as shown here::

    $ atrcopy --help
    usage: atrcopy DISK_IMAGE [-h] [-v] [--dry-run] COMMAND ...

    Manipulate files on several types of 8-bit computer disk images. Type 'atrcopy
    DISK_IMAGE COMMAND --help' for list of options available for each command.

    positional arguments:
      COMMAND
        list (t,ls,dir,catalog)
                            List files on the disk image. This is the default if
                            no command is specified
        crc                 List files on the disk image and the CRC32 value in
                            format suitable for parsing
        extract (x)         Copy files from the disk image to the local filesystem
        add (a)             Add files to the disk image
        create (c)          Create a new disk image
        assemble (s,asm)    Create a new binary file in the disk image
        delete (rm,del)     Delete files from the disk image
        vtoc (v)            Show a formatted display of sectors free in the disk
                            image
        segments            Show the list of parsed segments in the disk image

    optional arguments:
      -h, --help            show this help message and exit
      -v, --verbose
      --dry-run             don't perform operation, just show what would have
                            happened


Help for available options for each command is available using::

    atrcopy COMMAND --help

so for example, the help for assembling a binary file is::

    $ atrcopy asm --help
    usage: atrcopy DISK_IMAGE assemble [-h] [-f] [-s [ASM [ASM ...]]]
                                       [-d [DATA [DATA ...]]] [-r RUN_ADDR] -o
                                       OUTPUT

    optional arguments:
      -h, --help            show this help message and exit
      -f, --force           allow file overwrites in the disk image
      -s [ASM [ASM ...]], --asm [ASM [ASM ...]]
                            source file(s) to assemble using pyatasm
      -d [DATA [DATA ...]], -b [DATA [DATA ...]], --data [DATA [DATA ...]]
                            binary data file(s) to add to assembly, specify as
                            file@addr. Only a portion of the file may be included;
                            specify the subset using standard python slice
                            notation: file[subset]@addr
      -r RUN_ADDR, --run-addr RUN_ADDR, --brun RUN_ADDR
                            run address of binary file if not the first byte of
                            the first segment
      -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                            output file name in disk image

Creating Disk Images
--------------------

Several template disk images are included in the distribution, and these can be
used to create blank disk images that subsequent uses of ``atrcopy`` can
reference.

The available disk images can be viewed with::

    $ atrcopy create -l
    Available templates:
    dos2dd          Atari 8-bit DOS 2 double density (180K), empty VTOC
    dos2ed          Atari 8-bit DOS 2 enhanced density (130K), empty VTOC
    dos2ed+2.5      Atari 8-bit DOS 2 enhanced density (130K) DOS 2.5 system disk
    dos2sd          Atari 8-bit DOS 2 single density (90K), empty VTOC
    dos2sd+2.0s     Atari 8-bit DOS 2 single density (90K) DOS 2.0S system disk
    dos33           Apple ][ DOS 3.3 (140K) standard RWTS, empty VTOC
    dos33autobrun   Apple ][ DOS 3.3 (140K) standard RWTS, boot to HGR & BRUN a file named AUTOBRUN

To create a new image, use::

    $ atrcopy game.dsk create dos33autobrun

which will create a new file called ``game.dsk`` based on the ``dos33autobrun``
image.

``dos33autobrun`` is a special image that can be used to create autoloading
binary programs. It contains an Applesoft Basic file called ``HELLO`` which
will autoload on boot. It sets the graphics mode to ``HGR`` and executes a
``BRUN`` command to start a binary file named ``AUTOBRUN``. ``AUTOBRUN``
doesn't exist in the image, it's for you to supply.


Creating Programs on the Disk Image
-----------------------------------

The simple assembler included in ``atrcopy`` can create binary programs by
connecting binary data together in a single file and specifying a start address
so it can be executed by the system's binary run command.

The following command links together a hires image loaded at 2000 hex (the
first hires screen) and code at 6000 hex (that was assembled using an external
program, in this case the assembler from the cc65 project) and sets a start
address of 6000 hex. (Note that all the addresses are implicitly hex values.)
Because the Apple ][ binary format is limited to a single contiguous block of
data with a start address of the first byte of data loaded, ``atrcopy`` will fill
the gaps between any segments that aren't contiguous with zeros. If the start
address is not the first byte of the first specified segment, a mini-segment
will be included at the beginning that jumps to the specified ``brun`` address
(shown here as the segment from 1ffd - 2000). Note the gap between 4000 and
6000 hex will be filled with zeros::

    $ atrcopy game.dsk create dos33autobrun
    using dos33autobrun template: Apple ][ DOS 3.3 (140K) standard RWTS, HGR, BRUN a file named AUTOBRUN
    created game.dsk: DOS 3.3 Disk Image (size=143360 (560x256b)
    File #0  ( A) 002 HELLO                          003 001

    $ atrcopy game.dsk asm -b title.bin@2000 game[4:]@6000 --brun 6000 -f -o AUTOBRUN
    game.dsk: DOS 3.3 Disk Image (size=143360 (560x256b)
    setting data for $1ffd - $2000 at index $0004
    setting data for $2000 - $4000 at index $0007
    setting data for $6000 - $6ef3 at index $4007
    total file size: $4efa (20218) bytes
    copying AUTOBRUN to game.dsk

It is also possible to assemble text files that use the MAC/65 syntax, because
support for `pyatasm <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyatasm>`_ is built-in (but
optional). MAC/65 is a macro assembler originally designed for the Atari 8-bit
machines but since it produces 6502 code it can be used to compile for any
machine that uses the 6502: Apple, Commodore, etc.


Example on Mac OS X
-------------------

OS X supplies python with the operating system so you shouldn't need to install
a framework version from python.org.

To prevent overwriting important system files, it's best to create a working
folder: a new empty folder somewhere and do all your testing in that folder.
For this example, create a folder called ``atrtest`` in your ``Documents``
folder.  Put a few disk images in this directory to use for testing.

Since this is a command line program, you must get to a command line prompt.
Start a Terminal by double clicking on Terminal.app in the
``Applications/Utilities`` folder in the Finder.  When Terminal opens, it will
put you in your home folder automatically.  Go to the ``atrtest`` folder by
typing::

    cd Documents/atrtest

You can see the ATR images you placed in this directory by using the
command::

    ls -l

For example, you might see::

    mac:~/Documents/atrtest $ ls -l
    -rw-r--r-- 1 rob  staff  92176 May 18 21:57 GAMES1.ATR

Now, run the program by typing ``atrcopy GAMES1.ATR`` and you should
see the contents of the ``ATR`` image in the familiar Atari DOS format::

    mac:~/Documents/atrtest $ atrcopy GAMES1.ATR
    GAMES1.ATR: ATR Disk Image (size=92160 (720x128b), crc=0 flags=0 unused=0) Atari DOS Format: 707 usable sectors (17 free), 9 files
    File #0  (.2.u.*) 004 DOS     SYS  039
    File #1  (.2.u.*) 043 MINER2       138
    File #2  (.2.u.*) 085 DEFENDER     132
    File #3  (.2.u.*) 217 CENTIPEDE    045
    File #4  (.2.u.*) 262 GALAXIAN     066
    File #5  (.2.u.*) 328 AUTORUN SYS  005
    File #6  (.2.u.*) 439 DIGDUG       133
    File #7  (.2.u.*) 531 ANTEATER     066
    File #8  (.2.u.*) 647 ASTEROIDS    066

See other examples as above.
