--debug, -d

Print debug output. This option may be supplied many times each increasing the verbosity of debug messages.

The following commands are suported at the interactive prompt.

ls

cd file-id

change to another DF specified by file-id

cat

print the contents of the currently selected EF

info [file-id]

display attributes of a file specified by file-id. If file-id is not supplied, the attributes of the current file are printed.

create file-id size

mkdir file-id size

create a DF. file-id specifies the id number and size is the size of the new file.

pksign
