HEADERS=Y|N|O or 1|0|O (include set header information, O=header only) - DEFAULT:Y
VALIDATEONLY=Y|N or 1|0 - DEFAULT:N
WAIT=Y|N or 1|0 (wait for key press to terminate) - DEFAULT:N
Status: (first character)
S - File was split by end of media.

Example:
Catalog directory: C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Catalogs
Catalog file: {A018199C-8617-11D1-ABBE-0000-F832B476}.fh
Desired Output File: C:\Catalog.txt
The command would be:
catdump "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Catalogs\{A018199C-8617-11D1-ABBE-0000-F832B476}.fh" > C:\Catalog.txt
