.TH "LISTBAS" 1 "2024-07-01" "0.2.1" "Urchlay's Atari 8-bit Tools"
.SH NAME
listbas \- List the source of a tokenized Atari 8-bit BASIC program
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
listbas [\fB\-v\fP] [\fB\-i\fP] [\fB\-a\fP | \fB\-m\fP ] \fBinput\-file\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBlistbas\fP acts like the \fILIST\fP command in BASIC. It reads a
tokenized (SAVEd) BASIC program and prints the code in human\-readable
format.
.sp
By default, output is piped through \fBa8cat\fP(1), to covert ATASCII
characters into Unicode equivalents. Raw ATASCII and "magazine listing"
mode are also available.
.sp
\fBa8cat\fP is run as an external processe. The executables is searched
for first in the current directory, and then in \fIPATH\fP\&.
.SH OPTIONS
.SS List options
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fB\-i\fP
Include the immediate mode command (line 32768) in the output.
.TP
.B \fB\-a\fP
Output raw ATASCII; no translation to the host character set. Must be
used with redirection; \fBlistbas\fP will not write ATASCII to the terminal.
.TP
.B \fB\-m\fP
Output "magazine listing". Pipes output through \fBa8cat \-m\fP; see the man
page for \fBa8cat\fP for details.
.UNINDENT
.SS General Options
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fB\-\-help\fP
Print usage message and exit.
.TP
.B \fB\-\-version\fP
Print version number and exit.
.TP
.B \fB\-v\fP
Verbose operation. When displaying a number in verbose mode, it will
be prefixed with \fI$\fP if it\(aqs in hex, or no prefix for decimal.
.UNINDENT
.SH NOTES
.sp
\fBlistbas\fP will refuse to operate on a LIST\-protected program with
scrambled variable names. For code\-protected programs, it will stop at
the line with the invalid offset. Use \fBunprotbas\fP(1) to remove the
protection.
.sp
\fBlistbas\fP is similar to Jindroush\(aqs \fBchkbas\fP(1). The main differences are:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBlistbas\fP only supports Atari BASIC, not Turbo BASIC or BASIC XL/XE.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBlistbas\fP doesn\(aqt show information about the variables. Use \fBvxrefbas\fP(1)
for that.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBlistbas\fP will not write ATASCII data to your terminal. By default, it uses
\fBa8cat\fP(1) to convert the output to something human\-readable
that won\(aqt confuse the terminal. When outputting raw ATASCII (\fB\-a\fP option),
it refuses to run if standard output is a terminal.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBlistbas\fP only lists line 32768 (the immediate mode command) if
specifically asked to do so.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBlistbas\fP doesn\(aqt print a banner on startup.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBlistbas\fP tells you if the program is protected, and refuses to operate
on variable\-protected programs.
