raw2hdf(1)			   Emulators			    raw2hdf(1)

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

SYNOPSIS
       raw2hdf rawfile hdffile

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.

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.
