raw2hdf(1)			    Emulators			      raw2hdf(1)

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.  De-
	    faults 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.
