It supports AtariDOS II and +SpartaDOS 2 and 3 disk formats. Single, enhanced, double, and custom +formats are supported, though writing to AtariDOS images is limited to +the first 720 sectors. + +There are also two scripts: + +franny-extract.sh + dump all files from ATR or XFD to specified directory (works like atr2unix) + +franny-insert.sh + insert all files from specified directory to ATR (works like unix2atr) + +OPTIONS +======= + +All options that take an argument require a space between the option +and its argument, *except* the -L option, which doesn't allow a space. + +Generally, uppercase options can be thought of as commands, which edit +the given disk image, and lowercase options can be thought of as options +to the uppercase commands. + +-A + Add file to image. Paths must be given by using -i and -o. Writing past + sector 720 on an AtariDOS image is not supported. + +-C + Create new image. Will not be bootable. Use -d, -f, -m, -s, -t, -T options + to control the image type. Default is 256 bytes per sector, 720 sectors, + SpartaDOS filesystem, ATR image, normal (non-sio2ide) image type. + +-d [s|d] + Sector size for -C [single|double]; default: double. Single is 128 bytes/sector, double + is 256. + +-f [a|s] + File system type for -C [AtariDOS II|Sparta 2.0]; default: Sparta 2.0. + +-F + Format image. Ignores any -d, -f, -m, -s, -t, -T options. + +-h + Show help and exit. + +-i filename + Input filename (source file for -A and -S). When using the -S option, + the filename is treated case-insensitively, unless it contains a + directory path. + +-I + Image summary. Shows disk label, filesystem type, density, total + sectors, free sectors, image type (standard or sio2ide) and image + media (ATR for ATR images, RAW for XFD images). + +-l format + List format used by -L. Default is **"A F.E S B D T"**. The format specifiers + are: + + **A**: Attributes (R for locked files, D for directories, H for hidden files) + + **B**: Size in bytes + + **D**: Date. For AtariDOS images, this is always "00-00-2000". + + **E**: Filename extension + + **F**: Filename (minus the extension) + + **S**: Size in sectors + + **T**: Time. For AtariDOS images, this is always "00:00:00". + + Any other character represents itself. The list above is case-insensitive. + + For example, this gives a more AtariDOS-like display: + + franny -L -l "fe s" file.atr + +-Lmask + List directory. Mask is optional; default: \*.\* (all files). NOTE + that NO SPACE is allowed before the mask, unlike all the other franny + options! Also, the mask is case-sensitive (e.g. -L*.SYS, not -L*.sys). + Files using the DOS 2.5 extra sectors on enhanced density disks will + display, but without the < > around them like DOS 2.5 does. + +-m [a|r] + Media type for -C (atr|raw); default: atr. Raw images are also known as XFD images. + +-M dirname + Create directory. Only works for SpartaDOS images. + +-N name + Set volume name. Only works for SpartaDOS images. + +-o filename + Output filename (destination file for -A and -S). When using the -A option, + the filename is treated case-insensitively, unless it contains a directory path. + +-O [a|r] + New media type (BROKEN). This option is apparently supposed to convert + between ATR and XFD, but it doesn't appear to actually do anything. + +-R dirname + Remove dir. Only works for SpartaDOS images. + +-s sectors + Total sectors for -C. For standard single or double density, use 720. For 1050 enhanced + density (aka 'medium'), use 1040. + +-S + Save (extract) filename from image. Paths must be given with -i and -o. + +-t [s|m|d|f|F] + Image templates for -C [single|medium|double|full/Full(65535 sectors, 128/256 bytes each)]. + Used for -C option. 's' is equivalent to "-s 720 -d s", etc. + +-T [d|s] + change image type (default|sio2ide). Only applies to ATR images, not RAW/XFD. + +-U Filename + Unlink (remove) file. filename is case-sensitive. + +-v + Show version and exit. + +-V sector + view (dump) sector in hex and ASCII. Output is OK for ATR images but + badly formatted for raw/XFD. + +EXIT STATUS +=========== + +franny returns 0 for success and non-zero for failure. On failure, +a diagnostic message is printed to standard error. + +DIAGNOSTICS +=========== + +franny: You can specify only one command. + + Only one of the -A -C -I -L -M -N -O -R -S -T -U -V options may be given. + +franny: Cannot open image '[*image*]' + + This means the image is invalid. Either it's not actually an Atari + disk image, or it's a boot disk that doesn't contain a filesystem, + or it's a truncated image (see NOTES), or you don't have permission + to read the file. + +franny: Specified file is not regular file. + + Means the image file or the file given to the -i / -o options doesn't + exist, or is something other than a regular file or a symlink to a + regular file (e.g. a directory or a device node). + +franny: Command failed. + + Catch-all error message. Can be caused by: + + - attempting to access a nonexistant file in the image + + - a 'disk full' condition (trying to copy too much data into the image) + + - trying to create/delete a subdirectory on an AtariDOS image (currently not supported) + + - trying to delete or overwrite a locked file in the image (unfortunately franny has no way to unlock files) + +franny: Cannot change directory. + + For SpartaDOS images, the given subdirectory doesn't exist within the image. Remember to use > + as a path separator, and quote any arguments containing > to avoid the shell + interpreting it as a redirection. Also, directory names are case-sensitive. + + For AtariDOS images, any attempt to copy files to/from a subdirectory + will give this error, as subdirs aren't supported in AtariDOS images. + +NOTES +===== + +franny is intended for use only with disk images containing +AtariDOS/MyDOS-compatible or SpartaDOS 2/3 filesystems. Attempting to +edit non-filesystem-bearing images (such as boot disks) will fail and/or +have unpredictable results. + +Most emulators support truncated or 'short' disk images, where only the +sectors actually used are stored in the file. franny is unable to operate +properly with truncated images, even if the missing part of the image +contains no filesystem data (sectors containing all zeroes). This type +of image can be turned back into a full image with a dd command such as + + dd if=truncated.atr of=fixed.atr bs=92176 count=1 conv=sync + +92176 is for a single-density image. Replace with 184336 for double density +or 133120 for 1050 enhanced density. For ATR images, this is **(number_of_sectors * bytes_per_sector) + 16**. For XFD (raw) images, don't add the 16. + +The -I option will mis-identify most non-filesystem boot or data disks as +containing a Sparta 2 filesystem. The other options will (usually?) fail +with 'Cannot open image' for non-fs disks (see DIAGNOSTICS). + +Filenames within the image can be entered in lowercase with the -i or -o +options, but they're always converted to uppercase (and truncated to 8.3 +format, if they're not already). If the filename contains a directory +path, only the base filename gets converted, NOT the directory name(s). +Also, this ONLY applies to -i and -o. The other options that take Atari +filenames require them to match exactly (e.g. -U autorun.sys will fail, +use -U AUTORUN.SYS instead). + +There is no way to delete or overwrite a locked file within the image, as +franny has no Unlock option. There's also no Lock option. + +Also missing is a Rename option. To rename a file, do something like this: + + franny -S -i sxhand.sys -o sxhand.sys image.atr + + franny -U SXHAND.SYS image.atr + + franny -A -i sxhand.sys -o autorun.sys image.atr + +The above renames SXHAND.SYS to AUTORUN.SYS. Note that the -U option +required the filename in uppercase. + +The -O option doesn't work. You can convert an ATR image to a raw one +with dd: + + dd if=disk.atr of=disk.xfd bs=16 skip=1 + +BUGS +===== + +Some things are not implemented yet. Main disability is write support for +enhanced density in AtariDOS II disk format. Second problem is mydos's +subdirectories. An extra tool to develop is a gui. + +The -O (new media type) option doesn't work. + +The franny-insert.sh script will fail, if any of the files/directories +contain spaces or other shell metacharacters such as > or \|. + +Report bugs to ten.egrofecruos.stsil@leved-8irata. + +COPYRIGHT +========= + +See the file /usr/doc/franny-|version|/copying for license information. + +AUTHORS +======= + +Rafael 'Bob_er' Ciepiela <ten.egrofecruos.sresu@re_bob> - Coder and designer of the franny program itself. + +This man page written for the SlackBuilds.org project +by B.
