-// This simple application uses the P9-XIP image APIs to normalize, search
-// update and edit P9-XIP images. This program encapsulates several commands
-// in a common command framework which requires an image to operate on, a
-// command name, and command arguments that vary by command. Commands that
-// modify the image always rewrite the image in-place in the filesystem;
-// however the original image is only modified if the command has completed
-// without error.
-//
-// The program operates on a P9-XIP format binary image, which must be
-// normalized - unless the tool is being called to normalize the image in the
-// first place using the 'normalize' command. The tool also validates the
-// image prior to operating on the image.
-//
-// The 'get' command retrieves a scalar value from the image and prints its
-// representation on stdout (followed by a newline). Scalar integer values
-// and image addresses are printed as hex numbers (0x...). Strings are printed
-// verbatim.
-//
-// The 'getv' command retrieves a vector element from the image and prints its
-// representation on stdout (followed by a newline). Integer values
-// and image addresses are printed as hex numbers (0x...). Vectors of strings
-// are not supported.
-//
-// The 'set' command allows setting integer and string values in the image.
-// New integer values can be specified in decimal or hex (0x...). Strings are
-// taken verbatim from the command line. Note that new string values will be
-// silently truncated to the length of the current string if the new value is
-// longer than the current string. Updating address values is currently not
-// supported. Any number of item/value pairs can be specified with a single
-// 'set' command.
-//
-// The 'setv' command is provided to set individual vector elements of
-// integral arrays.
-//
-// The 'report' command prints a report including a dump of the header and
-// section table, a listing of the types and values of all items that appear
-// in the TOC. The TOC listing includes the
-// sequence number of the entry in the TOC, the item name, the item type and
-// the item value.
-//
-// The 'attrdump' command prints a listing of the names, types and values
-// of all attribute items that appear in the TOC and their value from
-// the attribute dump file
-//
-// The 'append' command either creates or extends the section named by the
-// section argument, by appending the contents of the named file verbatim.
-// Currently the section must either be the final (highest address) section of
-// the image, or must be empty, in which case the append command creates the
-// section as the final section of the image. The 'append' command writes the
-// relocatable image address where the input file was loaded to stdout. The
-// last argument, ddSupport, indicates if the section being added has ddLevel
-// metadata support (=1) or not (=0). If this arg is omitted it's assumed
-// to be false (=0).
-//
-// The 'extract' command extracts a section from the binary image. The last
-// argument, ddLevel, indicates [in hex] the DD level to be extracted. If
-// the section doesn't have DD level support, a message is returned stating
-// that and to reissue the command w/o the ddLevel arg. If the section does
-// have DD support but the specified ddLevel cannot be found, a message is
-// returned stating that and no section is returned. If the arg is omitted,
-// the entire XIP section is returned
-//
-// The 'delete' command deletes 0 or more sections, starting with <section0>.
-// Each section to be deleted must either be the final (highest address)
-// section of the image at the time it is deleted, or must be empty. The
-// 'delete' command writes the size of the final modified image to stdout.
-//
-// The 'dissect' command dissects the ring section named by the section argument
-// and summarizes the content of the ring section. The second argument to
-// 'dissect', i.e. [table,short,normal(default),long], specifies how much information
-// is included in the listing:
-// table: Tabular overview.
-// short: The bare necessities.
-// normal: Everything except a binary dump of the ring block.
-// long: Everything including a binary dump of the ring block.
-// raw: Everything including a dump of the raw decompressed ring.
-// Note that iff the second argument is omitted, a 'normal' listing of the ring
-// section will occur.
-//
-// The 'disasm' command disassembles the section named by the section argument.
-//
-// The following -i<flag> are supported:
-// -ifs
-// causes the validation step to ignore image size check against the file
-// size.
-// -iv
-// causes all validation checking to be ignored. (Skips validation step.)
