raw2hdf — Create an .hdf hard disk image from a raw data file
raw2hdf [
OPTION]
rawfile hdffile
raw2hdf converts a binary dump of a hard disk's data into an IDE disk image in
.hdf format for use with Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulators.
- -v version
- specifies the version of .hdf image to be created. Valid
values are `1.0' for a version 1.0 file and `1.1' for a
version 1.1 file. Defaults to creating version 1.1 files.
-
-h, --help
- give brief usage help, listing available options.
-
-V, --version
- output version information. rawfile specifies a raw
data file (or block device corresponding to an actual disk) to be
converted.
- hdffile
- specifies the .hdf file to create.
Since raw2hdf has no knowledge of the geometry of the disk from which the
original image was taken (indeed, the input file need not originate from a
real IDE disk at all), there is no guarantee that the information contained in
the .hdf file header accurately represents the original disk. However, it will
attempt to construct a header that is consistent with the size of the image,
to produce an .hdf file which is functionally equivalent.
None known.
