Examples

$ ines-dump --nointro 'Battletoads-Double Dragon (USA).nes'
file                    Battletoads-Double Dragon (USA).nes
rom_size                262144
name                    Battletoads-Double Dragon
publisher               Tradewest
regions                 USA
date                    6/1993
licensed                true
crc32                   ceb65b06

crc32 & sha1 are computed for a rom portion, not for a whole file.

Print all available info in a shell-compatible code, that can be safely evaluated in sh:

$ ines-dump --nointro -f shell -a 'Battletoads-Double Dragon (USA).nes'
