ADF_SHOW_METADATA(1)

NAME
adf_show_metadata - show metadata of devices, volumes, directories and files stored as Amiga disk file images (ADF).

SYNOPSIS
adf_show_metadata <image_adf> [path]

DESCRIPTION
adf_show_metadata is a simple utility allowing to display metadata of Amiga disk file images. This includes low-level information about:

devices
    type, geometry, volume list

volumes
    type, Amiga filesystem type (OFS/FFS), free blocks, block information (boot block, root block)

directories
    directory block, hashtable

files
    file header block, extension blocks, data blocks

It can be useful for checking / debugging low-level information of an ADF file. Also, anyone interested in a low-level structure of filesystems (and/or retro-computing) can explore a bit solutions made for Commodore Amiga computers a few decades ago. Enjoy!

EXAMPLES
adf_show_metadata mydisk.adf
    shows metadata of the device (ADF image mydisk.adf) and its volumes
adf_show_metadata mydisk.adf s
    shows metadata of the directory s (on volume 0 of mydisk.adf)
adf_show_metadata mydisk.adf s/startup-sequence
    shows metadata of the file s/startup-sequence (on volume 0 of mydisk.adf)
