These are (relatively) simple shell scripts designed for simplifying working with virtual floppy disks that work with most retrocomputing emulators using mtools and loopback mounting.

usage: mkfloppy.sh [-z zip_file] [-d source_dir] <image_path> [mount_path]

Creates a floppy image. When called with only image path, the image will be blank. Otherwise, the image will contain the contents of zip file or source dir. Behaviour is undefined if both are specified.

If mount path is specified, the script will then attempt to mount the image at the given path.

usage: exfloppy.sh <image_file> [destination_dir]

Extracts a floppy image file to destination dir if given and the current working directory if not.

usage: fmtfloppy.sh [-u] <fd_path>

Low- and high-level formats a floppy in the device at fd path. If -u is specified, the device is assumed to be a USB floppy drive.
