NAME
----
cdpatch - CD-XA image insert/extract utility

SYNOPSIS
--------
'Insertion':::
*cdpatch* '-i' 'imagefile' ['-be'|'-boot'|'-d' 'dir'|'-f'|'-le'|'-o'|'-r'|'-v']

'Extraction':::
*cdpatch* '-x' 'imagefile' ['-be'|'-boot'|'-d' 'dir'|'-f'|'-le'|'-o'|'-r'|'-v']

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Inserts or extracts files in-place into CD-ROM images in either .BIN
or .ISO format.  Properly handles CD-XA streams from Mode 2 CDs (video
CDs, PlayStation CDs, etc) and patches EDC/ECC data as appropriate.

By default, cdpatch will attempt to insert or extract every file in
the CD image, the same as if you'd specified '-r .'.  The '-boot'
option will insert or extract the 32KiB boot sector to a file named
'boot'.

Some CD images may have conflicting sets big- and little-endian
metadata as a platform-specific quirk or copy protection scheme; the
'-be' and '-le' options can be used to override this.

Specifying both '-f' and '-v' will list all file system errors, while
still ignoring them for extraction purposes.

When extracting files with '-x', cdpatch preserves file modification
times when possible.
