NAME

D64::Disk::Dir::Entry - Handling individual Commodore (D64/D71/D81) disk image directory entries

SYNOPSIS

use D64::Disk::Dir::Entry;

# Create a new directory entry and initialize it with 30 bytes of binary data retrieved from a D64 disk image:
my $entryObj = D64::Disk::Dir::Entry->new($bytes);

# Get filename converted to ASCII string:
my $convert2ascii = 1;
my $name = $entryObj->get_name($convert2ascii);

# Get various parameters describing detailed entry properties:
my $type = $entryObj->get_type();
my $track = $entryObj->get_track();
my $sector = $entryObj->get_sector();

# Print out a single line out of entire disk directory with the contents of this particular entry to the standard output:
$entryObj->print_entry();

DESCRIPTION

This package provides a helper class for D64::Disk::Dir module, enabling user to handle individual directory entries in a higher-level object-oriented way.

METHODS

new

Create new D64::Disk::Dir::Entry object and initialize it with 30 bytes of binary data describing each directory entry on a D64 disk image (or a physical disk):

my $entryObj = D64::Disk::Dir::Entry->new($bytes);

The reason for initializing object not with 32 bytes of physical data but with 30 bytes instead is that two first bytes of each entry in a directory sector always should be $00 $00 as they are unused (except for the very first entry, in which case those bytes are still directory-wide, not entry-specific).

A valid D64::Disk::Dir::Entry object is returned upon success, an undefined value otherwise.

get_type

Get the actual filetype:

my $type = $entryObj->get_type();

Returns the actual filetype as a three-letter string, the possibilities here are: "del", "seq", "prg", "usr", "rel", "cbm", "dir", and "???".

get_closed

Get "Closed" flag (when not set produces "*", or "splat" files):

my $closed = $entryObj->get_closed();

Returns true when "Closed" flag is set, and false otherwise.

get_locked

Get "Locked" flag (when set produces ">" locked files):

my $locked = $entryObj->get_locked();

Returns true when "Locked" flag is set, and false otherwise.

get_track

Get track location of first sector of file:

my $track = $entryObj->get_track();

get_sector

Get sector location of first sector of file:

my $sector = $entryObj->get_sector();

get_name

Get 16 character filename (in PETASCII, padded with $A0):

my $convert2ascii = 0;
my $name = $entryObj->get_name($convert2ascii);

Get filename converted to ASCII string:

my $convert2ascii = 1;
my $name = $entryObj->get_name($convert2ascii);

get_side_track

Get track location of first side-sector block (relative file only):

my $side_track = $entryObj->get_side_track();

A track location of first side-sector block is returned upon success, an undefined value otherwise.

get_side_sector

Get sector location of first side-sector block (relative file only):

my $side_sector = $entryObj->get_side_sector();

A sector location of first side-sector block is returned upon success, an undefined value otherwise.

get_record_length

Get relative file record length (relative file only, maximum value 254):

my $record_length = $entryObj->get_record_length();

A relative file record length is returned upon success, an undefined value otherwise.

get_size

Get file size in sectors:

my $size = $entryObj->get_size();

The approximate filesize in bytes is <= #sectors * 254.

get_bytes

Get 30 bytes of binary data that would describe this particular directory entry on a D64 disk image (or a physical disk):

my $bytes = $entryObj->get_bytes();

print_entry

Print entry details to any opened file handle (the standard output by default):

$entryObj->print_entry($fh, { verbose => $verbose });

This method is subsequently invoked for each single entry while printing an entire directory with D64::Disk::Dir module.

verbose defaults to false (changing it to true will additionally print out file's track and sector values).

BUGS

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

EXPORT

None. No method is exported into the caller's namespace either by default or explicitly.
