NAME

D64::Disk::Image - Perl interface to Per Olofsson's "diskimage.c", an ANSI C library for manipulating Commodore disk images

SYNOPSIS

use D64::Disk::Image qw(:all);

# Create an empty image:
my $d64 = D64::Disk::Image->create_image('image.d64');

# Format the image:
my $rawname = $d64->rawname_from_name('title');
my $rawid = $d64->rawname_from_name('id');
$d64->format($rawname, $rawid);

# Write the image to disk:
$d64->free_image();

# Load an image from disk:
my $d64 = D64::Disk::Image->load_image('image.d64');

# Open a file for writing:
my $rawname = $d64->rawname_from_name('filename');
my $prg = $d64->open($rawname, T_PRG, F_WRITE);

# Write data to file:
my $counter = $prg->write($buffer);

# Close a file:
$prg->close();

# Open a file for reading:
my $rawname = $d64->rawname_from_name('filename');
my $prg = $d64->open($rawname, T_PRG, F_READ);

# Read data from file:
my ($counter, $buffer) = $prg->read();

# Close a file:
$prg->close();

# Free an image in memory:
$d64->free_image();

DESCRIPTION

Per Olofsson's "diskimage.c" is an ANSI C library for manipulating Commodore disk images. In Perl the following operations are implemented via D64::Disk::Image package:

  • Open file ('$' reads directory)

  • Delete file

  • Rename file

  • Format disk

  • Allocate sector

  • Deallocate sector

Additionally, the following operations are implemented via accompanying D64::Disk::Image::File package:

  • Read file

  • Write file

  • Close file

The following formats are supported:

  • D64 (single-sided 1541 disk image, with optional error info, which is currently ignored)

  • D71 (double-sided 1571 disk image)

  • D81 (3,5" 1581 disk image, however only root directory)

METHODS

new / load_image

Create new D64::Disk::Image object and load existing D64/D71/D81 image file from disk:

my $d64DiskImageObj = D64::Disk::Image->new($name);
my $d64DiskImageObj = D64::Disk::Image->load_image($name);

new / create_image

Create new D64::Disk::Image object and create new D64/D71/D81 image file on disk:

my $d64DiskImageObj = D64::Disk::Image->new($name, $imageType);
my $d64DiskImageObj = D64::Disk::Image->create_image($name, $imageType);

The following image type constants are available: D64, D71, D81 (image type D64 is used by default when executed as "create_image"). Each disk created needs to be formatted first before it can be used.

free_image

Free an image in memory (each opened disk needs to be subsequently freed to avoid memory leaks):

$d64DiskImageObj->free_image();

If the image has been modified, the changes will be written to disk.

sync

Write the image to disk:

$d64DiskImageObj->sync();

status

Get the drive status:

my ($numstatus, $status) = $d64DiskImageObj->status();

Numerical status is returned first, textual content of a status message is copied to the second return value.

open

Open a file for reading or writing:

my $imageFileObj = $d64DiskImageObj->open($rawname, $fileType, $mode);

The following file type constants are available: T_DEL, T_SEQ, T_PRG, T_USR, T_REL, T_CBM, T_DIR (by default file type T_PRG is used)

There are two open modes available: F_READ for reading, F_WRITE for writing (by default file is opened in F_READ mode)

Opening, reading, writing, and closing files is described in detail in D64::Disk::Image::File

format

Format the image:

my $numstatus = $d64DiskImageObj->format($rawname, $rawid);

If $rawid is given, a full format is performed.

my $numstatus = $d64DiskImageObj->format($rawname);

If no $rawid is given, a quick format is performed.

delete

Delete files matching the pattern:

my $numstatus = $d64DiskImageObj->delete($rawPattern, $fileType);

rename

Rename a file:

my $numstatus = $d64DiskImageObj->rename($oldRawName, $newRawName, $fileType);

sectors_per_track

Get the number of sectors in a given track:

my $sectors = D64::Disk::Image->sectors_per_track($imageType, $track);
my $sectors = $d64DiskImageObj->sectors_per_track($imageType, $track);

tracks

Get the number of tracks in the image:

my $tracks = D64::Disk::Image->tracks($imageType);
my $tracks = $d64DiskImageObj->tracks($imageType);

title

Get the disk title and id in the BAM:

my ($title, $id) = $d64DiskImageObj->title();

track_blocks_free

Get the number of free sectors in a given track:

my $track_blocks_free = $d64DiskImageObj->track_blocks_free($track);

is_ts_free

Get non-zero if the given track and sector is free, and zero if it's allocated:

my $is_ts_free = $d64DiskImageObj->is_ts_free($track, $sector);

alloc_ts

Allocate a given track and sector:

$d64DiskImageObj->alloc_ts($track, $sector);

free_ts

Free a given track and sector:

$d64DiskImageObj->free_ts($track, $sector);

rawname_from_name

Convert a NULL-terminated string to 16-byte 0xA0 padding:

my $rawname = D64::Disk::Image->rawname_from_name($name);
my $rawname = $d64DiskImageObj->rawname_from_name($name);

name_from_rawname

Converts a 0xA0 padded string to a NULL-terminated string:

my $name = D64::Disk::Image->name_from_rawname($rawname);
my $name = $d64DiskImageObj->name_from_rawname($rawname);

blocksfree

Get number of blocks free:

my $blocksFree = $d64DiskImageObj->blocksfree();

type

Get image type:

my $imageType = $d64DiskImageObj->type();

ascii_to_petscii

Convert an ASCII string to a PETSCII string:

my $petscii_string = D64::Disk::Image->ascii_to_petscii($ascii_string);
my $petscii_string = $d64DiskImageObj->ascii_to_petscii($ascii_string);

petscii_to_ascii

Convert a PETSCII string to an ASCII string:

my $ascii_string = D64::Disk::Image->petscii_to_ascii($petscii_string);
my $ascii_string = $d64DiskImageObj->petscii_to_ascii($petscii_string);

EXAMPLES

Print out the BAM:

# Load image into RAM:
my $d64 = D64::Disk::Image->load_image('image.d64');

BUGS

There are no known bugs at the moment. Please report any bugs or feature requests.

EXPORT

D64::Disk::Image exports nothing by default.

You may request the import of image type constants (D64, D71, and D81), and file type constants (T_DEL, T_SEQ, T_PRG, T_USR, T_REL, T_CBM, and T_DIR). All of these constants can be explicitly imported from D64::Disk::Image by using it with ":types" tag. You may also request the import of open mode constants (F_READ, and F_WRITE). Both these constants can be explicitly imported from D64::Disk::Image by using it with ":modes" tag. All constants can be explicitly imported from D64::Disk::Image by using it with ":all" tag.
