     1 # Demo of reading and writing to disk.
     2 #
     3 # Steps for trying it out:
     4 #   1. Translate this example into a disk image disk.img.
     5 #       ./translate ex9.mu
     6 #   2. Build a second disk image data.img containing some text.
     7 #       dd if=/dev/zero of=data.img count=20160
     8 #       echo 'abc def ghi' |dd of=data.img conv=notrunc
     9 #   3. Familiarize yourself with how the data disk looks within xxd:
    10 #       xxd data.img |head
    11 #   4. Run in an emulator, either Qemu or Bochs.
    12 #       qemu-system-i386 -hda disk.img -hdb data.img
    13 #       bochs -f bochsrc.2disks
    14 #   5. Exit the emulator.
    15 #   6. Notice that the data disk now contains the word count of the original text.
    16 #       xxd data.img |head
