@chapter Command Line Options
|
|
@cindex Command Line Options
|
|
|
|
The @code{saturn} program accepts the command line options listed below;
|
|
notice that recent versions of the X Toolkit allow you to abbreviate
|
|
option's names to their shortest, non-ambiguous prefix.
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
@item -reset
|
|
This option instructs @code{saturn} to reset the emulated CPU,
|
|
by forcing a jump to address @code{0}, before starting execution.
|
|
It should be useful when the emulated calculator ``gets stuck'', since
|
|
it has the same effect as pressing the reset switch on the real
|
|
calculator.
|
|
|
|
@item -monitor
|
|
This option instructs @code{saturn} to enter the monitor/debugger
|
|
during startup; since this feature of @code{saturn} is pitiful,
|
|
use of this option is strongly discouraged for now.
|
|
|
|
@item -batchXfer
|
|
When this option is present on the command line, all fast file
|
|
transfers requested through the @code{sutil} library will be
|
|
made in batch mode, that is, @code{saturn} will always load and save
|
|
files in the current directory and will use the default file names
|
|
given by the calculator, without any user interaction.
|
|
|
|
@item -stateDir @var{dir_name}
|
|
This option must be followed by the name of a directory, @var{dir_name};
|
|
@code{saturn} will use this directory to load/save the calculator's
|
|
state. By specifying different state directories, you can emulate
|
|
multiple calculator models and/or multiple instances of the same
|
|
calculator, even simultaneously. However, keep in mind that
|
|
calculator's state files are @strong{not} platform-independent, so you
|
|
cannot share them among different platforms. The default value of this
|
|
option is @code{.}, that is, by default @code{saturn} places its
|
|
state files in the current directory.
|
|
|
|
@item -cpu @var{cpu_state}
|
|
This option must be followed by the name of a file, @var{cpu_state},
|
|
relative to the emulator's state directory; @code{saturn} will use
|
|
this file to load/save the calculator's emulated CPU state.
|
|
The default value of this option is @code{cpu}.
|
|
|
|
@item -mod @var{mod_state}
|
|
This option must be followed by the name of a file, @var{mod_state},
|
|
relative to the emulator's state directory; @code{saturn} will use
|
|
this file to load/save the calculator's emulated peripheral modules
|
|
state.
|
|
The default value of this option is @code{mod}.
|
|
|
|
@item -hdw @var{hdw_state}
|
|
This option must be followed by the name of a file, @var{hdw_state},
|
|
relative to the emulator's state directory; @code{saturn} will use
|
|
this file to load/save the calculator's emulated peripheral devices
|
|
state.
|
|
The default value of this option is @code{hdw}.
|
|
|
|
@item -rom @var{rom_image}
|
|
This option must be followed by the name of a file, @var{rom_image},
|
|
relative to the emulator's state directory; @code{saturn} will use
|
|
this file to load (and save, when emulating an HP49) the calculator's
|
|
ROM image.
|
|
The default value of this option is @code{rom}.
|
|
|
|
@item -ram @var{ram_image}
|
|
This option must be followed by the name of a file, @var{ram_image},
|
|
relative to the emulator's state directory; @code{saturn} will use
|
|
this file to load/save the calculator's main RAM image.
|
|
The default value of this option is @code{ram}.
|
|
|
|
@item -port1 @var{port1_image}
|
|
This option must be followed by the name of a file, @var{port1_image},
|
|
relative to the emulator's state directory; @code{saturn} will use
|
|
this file to load/save the calculator's port 1 image.
|
|
The default value of this option is @code{port1}.
|
|
This option is meaningful only when emulating an HP48GX.
|
|
|
|
@item -port2 @var{port2_image}
|
|
This option must be followed by the name of a file, @var{port2_image},
|
|
relative to the emulator's state directory; @code{saturn} will use
|
|
this file to load/save the calculator's port 2 image.
|
|
The default value of this option is @code{port2}.
|
|
This option is meaningful only when emulating an HP48GX.
|
|
|
|
@item -face @var{face_name}
|
|
This option must be followed by the name of a faceplate, @var{face_name},
|
|
defined in the application resources of @code{saturn}. The faceplate
|
|
defines the ``look'' of the emulated calculator, such as its color
|
|
and the size and position of its keys, the mapping between
|
|
calculator's keys and IN/OUT codes seen by the CPU, and keyboard
|
|
shortcuts. Each user can define its own faceplates for @code{saturn},
|
|
and use them without rebuilding the executable; for more information
|
|
see @ref{Customizing saturn}. The application resource file
|
|
distributed with @code{saturn} defines the following faceplates:
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
@item hp48
|
|
Naive HP48GX faceplate
|
|
@item hp49
|
|
Naive HP49 faceplate
|
|
@item hp40
|
|
Naive HP40 faceplate
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
The default value of this option is @code{hp48}, corresponding
|
|
to a naive HP48GX faceplate in the default application resource
|
|
file distributed with @code{saturn}.
|
|
|
|
@item -hw @var{hw_name}
|
|
This option must be followed by the name of an hardware configuration,
|
|
@var{hw_name}, chosen among those supported by @code{saturn}.
|
|
The hardware configuration defines things like ROM/RAM sizes, bank
|
|
switching mechanism, and so on. Currently, @code{saturn} supports two
|
|
hardware configurations:
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
@item hp48
|
|
HP48GX calculator
|
|
@item hp49
|
|
HP49 calculator, also suitable to emulate the HP40
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
Even if @code{saturn} has a modular structure, unfortunately
|
|
general users cannot add custom hardware architectures to it
|
|
without rebuilding the executable. Moreover, since I am a lazy guy,
|
|
the steps required to do this are not documented at all.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
In addition, @code{saturn} understands all standard X Toolkit command-line
|
|
options, and does its best to honor them. Among such options, the
|
|
most useful ones are:
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
@item -display @var{display_name}
|
|
This option must be followed by a valid X display name, and instructs
|
|
the emulator to use that display to show its windows. If this option
|
|
is not present on the command line the default display, that is,
|
|
the display named by the @code{DISPLAY} environment variable, is used.
|
|
@item -xrm @var{resource_spec}
|
|
This option must be followed by a valid X resource specifier, and
|
|
allows you to add/override one or more @code{saturn}'s X resources
|
|
``on-the-fly''.
