Amindexd protocol
The protocol talked between amindexd and amrecover is a simple ASCII chat protocol based on that used in FTP. amrecover sends a 1 line command, and amindexd replies with a 1 line or multi-line reply. Each line of the reply starts with a three digit code, starting with a '5' if an error occurred. For 1 line replies, and the last line of a multi-line reply, the 4th character is a space. For all but the last line of a multi-line reply, the 4th character is a '-'.
The commands and replies other than acknowledgments are:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| QUIT | finish up and close connection |
| HOST <host> | set host to host |
| DISK <disk> | set disk to disk |
| LISTDISK [<device>] | list the disks for the current host |
