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