NAME
       disassemble

SYNOPSIS
         disassemble [--bare] [bytecode.plc] > bytecode.asm
         assemble bytecode.asm > bytecode.plc

DESCRIPTION
       Decompiles binary bytecode to readable and recompilable bytecode
       assembler.

       byteocde is a binary file wih either the magic 4 bytes 'PLBC' at the
       start, or something like "#! /usr/bin/perl\n use ByteLoader '0.07'"

       Without the filename uses STDIN.

OPTION --bare
       Without the option --bare the output will be commented.

       Note that older assembler, before B::Assembler version 0.07, i.e.  up
       to perl-5.8.x, will not be able to parse this commented assembler.

       But --bare is only optional, so the default is not backwards
       compatible. Rationale: Disassembling is primarily done to make binary
       bytecode readable, and not necessarily recompilable with older
       assemblers.
