Usage: readom [options]
options:
-version print version information and exit
dev=target SCSI target to use
f=filename Name of file to read/write
sectors=range Range of sectors to read/write
speed=# set speed of drive (MMC only)
ts=# set maximum transfer size for a single SCSI command
-w Switch to write mode
-c2scan Do a C2 error scan
-fulltoc Retrieve the full TOC
-clone Retrieve the full TOC and all data
timeout=# set the default SCSI command timeout to #.
debug=#,-d Set to # or increment misc debug level
kdebug=#,kd=# do Kernel debugging
-quiet,-q be more quiet in error retry mode
-verbose,-v increment general verbose level by one
-Verbose,-V increment SCSI command transport verbose level by one
-silent,-s do not print status of failed SCSI commands
-scanbus scan the SCSI bus and exit
-noerror do not abort on error
-nocorr do not apply error correction in drive
-notrunc do not truncate outputfile in read mode
retries=# set retry count (default is 128)
-overhead meter SCSI command overhead times
meshpoints=# print read-speed at # locations
-factor try to use speed factor with meshpoints=# if possible
sectors=0-0 will read nothing, sectors=0-1 will read one sector starting from 0

| Option | Description | Source |
|---|
-version | Print version information and exit. | help + man |
-w | Switch to write mode. | help + man |
-c2scan | Scans the whole CD or the range specified by the sectors=range for C2 errors. | help + man |
-fulltoc | Retrieve a full TOC from the current disk and print it in hex. | help + man |
-clone | Retrieve the full TOC and all data | help + man |
-quiet, -q | be more quiet in error retry mode | help |
-verbose, -v | Increment the level of general verbosity by one. | help + man |
-Verbose, -V | Increment the verbose level with respect of SCSI command transport by one. | help + man |
-silent, -s | Do not print out a status report for failed SCSI commands. | help + man |
-scanbus | Scan all SCSI devices on all SCSI busses and print the inquiry strings. | help + man |
-noerror | Do not abort if the high level error checking in readom found an uncorrectable error in the data stream. | help + man |
-nocorr | Switch the drive into a mode where it ignores read errors in data sectors that are a result of uncorrectable ECC/EDC errors before reading. | help + man |
-notrunc | Do not truncate the output file when opening it. | help + man |
-overhead | Meter the SCSI command overhead time. | help + man |
-factor | Output the speed values for meshpoints=# as factor based on single speed of the current medium. | help + man |
