SYNOPSIS
dumpgame [Brq -D dbfile | --db Ar dbfile] [game] dumpgame -c | -d | --checksum | --disk [Brq -D dbfile | --db Ar dbfile] checksum [...] dumpgame [-hV] [--help] [--version]

DESCRIPTION
dumpgame extracts rom set information from a ckmame(1) database. dumpgame can also find roms matching a particular checksum.

dumpgame supports the following options:

    -b, -brief
        Use brief mode: don't output ROM and disk information.

    -c, -checksum
        Look for a ROM by checksum (instead of the default behaviour to look for a game by name).

    -D dbfile, --db Ar dbfile
        Use database dbfile instead of the default ``mame.db.''

    -d, -disk
        Look for a disk by checksum (instead of the default behaviour to look for a game by name).

    -h, -help
        Display a short help message.

    -V, -version
        Display program name and version number.

    /ckmame
        Report database version of the database, if it is supported by

    /dat
        Names of the datfiles used for creating the database, and their descriptions.

    /detector
        Name and version of the CMPro XML header skip detector used (if any).

    /hashtypes
        Types of checksums used (crc, md5, sha1). One line each for roms and disks.
