DXTools - Using SPZap

Documentation for Version 1.3

SPZap (pronounced “super zap”) is a command line file patching utility. The name and some of the commands are an homage to the IBM AMASPZAP (later alias IMASPZAP) utility that was introduced with the MVS operating system. The utility reads commands from the standard input stream (STDIN) and writes the result of the commands to the standard output stream (STDOUT). The utility is designed to operate on any file and assumes that the file is structured as a number of variable sized pages.

The utility has commands to load pages of the file inspect, verify, update and search those pages.

The utility continues to read commands from the input stream until EOF (Ctrl-T on Windows Ctrl-D on Linux) is encountered or a soft End-Of-File, character sequence “/*” is read. If input is redirected from a file then EOF on that file terminates the application.
