affconvert(1) convert files between RAW and AFF formats affconvert(1) NAME affconvert - convert files between RAW and AFF formats SYNOPSIS affconvert [options] file1 [... files] DESCRIPTION Convert files from RAW to AFF, AFF to RAW and AFF to AFF (recompressing/un- compressing). WARNING: the source file must have 'raw' or 'aff' as exten- sion in name. This file is part of the AFFLIBv3, that provides AFF. AFF is an open and extensible file format to store disk images and associ- ated metadata. It is useful in several scenaries, as computer forensics in- vestigations. OPTIONS General options: -q Quiet mode. Don't ask questions, don't print status. -V Just print the version number and exit. AFF output options: -a<ext> Use 'ext' for aff files (default is aff; afd for AFD files). -L Use the LZMA compression algorithm (better but slower). -Mn[kmg] Set maximum size of output file. Suffix with k, m or g. Use with -o. -O<dir> Use 'dir' as the output directory. Example: -Otest. Note that you need create the directory. -o<dir>.afd Output to 'dir'.afd (can only convert one at a time). Con- sider AFF if file ends using .aff. Otherwise assumes raw. The directory must have .afd as extension in name. -s<n> Set the image_pagesize as 'n' (default 16777216). -x Don't compress the AFF file. -X<n> Set compression to 'n'; default is 7. Raw output options: -e<ext> Use 'ext' for the raw files (default is raw). Implies in -r. -r Generate raw output. Dangerous input options: -y Always answer yes/no questions 'yes.' -Z Do not automatically probe for gzip/bzip2 compression. -z ZAP (delete) the output file if it already exists.
