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


SYNOPSIS
       raw2hdf [OPTION] 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.

       -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.


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.


BUGS
       None known.
