NAME
       cckddiag - Hercules CCKD DASD diagnostic tool

SYNOPSIS
       cckddiag [options...] filename

DESCRIPTION
       Hercules support tool used to assist in the diagnosis of CCKD DASD problems.  Operates on Hercules CCKD DASD volumes in read-only mode, and
       displays various information contained in CCKD DASD files.  Effective usage requires internal knowledge of Hercules CCKD DASD files.

OPTIONS
       The following options are used to specify which portions of the CCKD DASD file are to be displayed.  Options may not be combined; for exam-
       ple, -cd1 is not a valid option.  Surround each option by blank(s).

       Argument  numbers may be specified either in decimal or hexadecimal.  If the number begins with the characters 0x the number is presumed to
       be hexadecimal; else the number is presumed to be decimal.  No numeric overflow checking is done, the user is  assumed  (!)  to	know  what
       they're doing.

       Options are divided into three categories: global options, track-related options, and the offset option.

Global options
   filename
       specifies the Hercules CCKD DASD filename (sometimes referred to as the DASD image file)

   -v
       display version and exit

   -d
       display DEVHDR

   -c
       display CDEVHDR

   -1
       display L1TAB  (note this option is a numeric one)

   -g
       enable debug output

Track-related options
       To direct cckddiag to a specific track, two options are provided: -a and -r.  The remaining track-related options describe the kind of out-
       put desired.  The TRKHDR for the track is displayed for all track-related options.

   -a cc hh
       display absolute CCHH data - where cc and hh are respectively the cylinder number (relative zero), and the head number (relative zero).

   -r tt
       display relative track data - where tt is the track number (relative zero).

   -2
       display L2TAB - requires a corresponding -a or -r specification to direct cckddiag to a specific track.

   -t
       display track data - displays the COUNT, KEY, and DATA record summaries for the data residing on the indicated track.

   -x
       hex display track key/data - displays the KEY and DATA records' contents in hexadecimal display	format	for  the  indicated  track.   Some
       repetitive data may be omitted from the hex display output.

Offset option
       This option provides the ability to examine any portion of the CCKD file, as an alternative to track specification.

   -o oo ll
       hex display data at offset oo of length ll.
