NAME

6       raw2hdf — Create an .hdf hard disk image from a raw data file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       raw2hdf [OPTION] rawfile hdffile
10

DESCRIPTION

12       raw2hdf  converts  a binary dump of a hard disk's data into an IDE disk
13       image in .hdf format for use with Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulators.
14

OPTIONS

16       -v version
17              specifies the version of .hdf image to be created. Valid  values
18              are  `1.0'  for  a  version 1.0 file and `1.1' for a version 1.1
19              file. Defaults to creating version 1.1 files.

22       -h, --help
23              give brief usage help, listing available options.
24
25       -V, --version
26              output version information.  rawfile specifies a raw data
27              file (or block device corresponding to an actual disk) to
28              be converted.
29
30       hdffile
31              specifies the .hdf file to create.

NOTES

34       Since raw2hdf has no knowledge of the geometry of the disk  from
35       which  the original image was taken (indeed, the input file need
36       not originate from a real IDE disk at all), there is no  guaran‐
37       tee that the information contained in the .hdf file header accu‐
38       rately represents the original disk. However, it will attempt to
39       construct  a  header  that  is  consistent  with the size of the
40       image, to produce an .hdf file which is functionally equivalent.
