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  file
27              (or  block  device  corresponding  to an actual disk) to be con‐
28              verted.
29
30       hdffile
31              specifies the .hdf file to create.

NOTES

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