cbmshell¶
A Python application to manipulate the contents of disk and tape images used by emulators of Commodore 8-bit microcomputers.
Files can be copied between an image and the local filesystem as well as converted to and from PETSCII.
cbmshell has many of the properties of a UNIX shell, giving both
an interactive environment and the ability to run predefined scripts.
Getting Started¶
Install the Python cbmshell package from pypi using:
$ pip install cbmshell
Start an interactive session by running:
$ cbm-shell
(cbm)
Commands entered following the (cbm) prompt will be immediately
executed. To see a list of supported commands use help:
(cbm) help
Documented commands (use 'help -v' for verbose/'help <topic>' for details):
===========================================================================
alias detach from_petscii lock rename shell unlist
attach directory help macro renumber shortcuts unlock
cat edit history merge run_pyscript text untext
copy file images mkdir run_script to_petscii
delete format list quit set token_set
Disk images are made available by attaching them to a drive number:
(cbm) attach mydisk.d64
Attached mydisk.d64 to 0
Many commands can work with either a file on the local filesystem:
(cbm) list test.prg
or a file inside an image:
(cbm) list 0:PRINT
or a combination of both:
(cbm) copy 0:TEST test.prg
