CASINFO(1)

NAME
casinfo - print info about Atari 8-bit cassette images

SYNOPSIS

casinfo file

DESCRIPTION

casinfo reads an Atari 8-bit cassette image (aka CAS file) and prints the following information:

•   Description

•   Number of Parts (aka Stages or Files)

•   Number of Blocks

•   The metadata for each block:

•   Block Number

•   Record Type (data or fsk)

•   Part (0 for the first file/stage, 1 for the 2nd, etc)

•   Baud (bits/sec; normally 600)

•   Gap aka PRWT (Pre-Record Write Tone, in milliseconds)

•   Block length in bytes (normally 132)

    If an invalid file (not a CAS image) is given, casinfo will print Error: "file" doesn't start with FUJI header to stderr, then exit. Beware that the exit status is always 0 (success), so a script would have to capture and parse stderr to catch errors.

EXAMPLE

$ casinfo test.cas
casinfo 0.30-210714 (c) 2007-2010 Matthias Reichl
infos for "test.cas":
Description: <none>
Number of Parts: 1
Number of Blocks: 3
   0:  data part:  0  baud:   600  gap: 25647  length:   132
   1:  data part:  0  baud:   600  gap:   252  length:   132
   2:  data part:  0  baud:   600  gap:   254  length:   132
