Description
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.
Name
raw2hdf — Create an .hdf hard disk image from a raw data file
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
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.
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.
-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.
