Command description

This operation will calculate uniqueness and entropy of the media represented by a media dump image. It's not affected my the image format compression if applicable.

Command usage

DiscImageChef entropy -i <dump> -v [true/false] -d [true/false] -p [true/false] -t [true/false] -w [true/false]

-i, --input=<dump> path to the media dump image
-v, --verbose=[true/false] shows verbose output [default false]
-d, --debug=[true/false] shows debug output [default false]
-p, --duplicated-sectors=[true/false] besides entropy also calculates how many sectors have the exact same data in their user area [default true]
-t, --separated-tracks=[true/false] separately calculates the entropy for each track dividing the media. Only applicable to certain kind of media (optical discs and digital tapes mostly) [default true]
-w, --whole-disc=[true/false] calculates the entropy for the whole media [default true]
