raw2hdf(1) Emulators raw2hdf(1)NAMEraw2hdf — Create an .hdf hard disk image from a raw data file
SYNOPSISraw2hdf rawfile hdffile
DESCRIPTIONraw2hdf 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.
OPTIONS-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.
rawfile
specifies a raw data file (or block device corresponding to an
actual disk) to be converted.
hdffile
specifies the .hdf file to create.
NOTES
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 informa‐
tion contained in the .hdf file header accurately represents the origi‐
nal disk. However, it will attempt to construct a header that is con‐
sistent with the size of the image, to produce an .hdf file which is
functionally equivalent.
BUGS
None known.
