        {
            if(args == null || args.Length != 1)
            {
                Console.Error.WriteLine("WAD file required");
                return 2;
            }

            Wad wad = WadParser.Parse(args[0]);

            foreach(var lump in wad.Lumps)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(lump.Name);
            }

            return 0;
        }
    }
}

                return 2;
            }

            Wad wad = WadParser.Parse(args[0], false);

                WadParser.ReadBytesIntoLump(args[0], endoomLump);
                Console.WriteLine($"{endoomLump.Name} is {endoomLump.Bytes.Length} bytes long");
