=======
listbas
=======
--------------------------------------------------------
List the source of a tokenized Atari 8-bit BASIC program
--------------------------------------------------------
.. include:: manhdr.rst
SYNOPSIS
========
listbas [**-v**] [**-i**] [**-a** | **-m** ] **input-file**
DESCRIPTION
===========
**listbas** acts like the *LIST* command in BASIC. It reads a
tokenized (SAVEd) BASIC program and prints the code in human-readable
format.
By default, output is piped through **a8cat**\(1), to covert ATASCII
characters into Unicode equivalents. Raw ATASCII and "magazine listing"
mode are also available.
**a8cat** is run as an external processe. The executables is searched
for first in the current directory, and then in *PATH*.
OPTIONS
=======
List options
------------
**-i**
Include the immediate mode command (line 32768) in the output.
**-a**
Output raw ATASCII; no translation to the host character set. Must be
used with redirection; **listbas** will not write ATASCII to the terminal.
**-m**
Output "magazine listing". Pipes output through **a8cat -m**; see the man
page for **a8cat** for details.
.. include:: genopts.rst
NOTES
=====
**listbas** 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 **unprotbas**\(1) to remove the
protection.
**listbas** is similar to Jindroush's **chkbas**\(1). The main differences are:
- **listbas** only supports Atari BASIC, not Turbo BASIC or BASIC XL/XE.
- **listbas** doesn't show information about the variables. Use **vxrefbas**\(1)
for that.
- **listbas** will not write ATASCII data to your terminal. By default, it uses
**a8cat**\(1) to convert the output to something human-readable
that won't confuse the terminal. When outputting raw ATASCII (**-a** option),
it refuses to run if standard output is a terminal.
- **listbas** only lists line 32768 (the immediate mode command) if
specifically asked to do so.
- **listbas** doesn't print a banner on startup.
- **listbas** tells you if the program is protected, and refuses to operate
on variable-protected programs.
EXIT STATUS
===========
0 for success, 1 for failure.
