🌸 NAME 🌸

DASDCONV — convert a CKD disk image from HDR-30 to AWSCKD format 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dasdconv [-r] [-lfs] [-q] infile outfile

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe check 🎀

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

This manual page documents the dasdconv program. yes, the page you're literally reading right now. meta moment 🙈

dasdconv converts a CKD disk image from HDR-30 format to AWSCKD format. that's the whole job. she's a specialist, not a generalist 👑

🫶 PARAMETERS 🫶

  • infile — the input CKD DASD file, in HDR-30 format. the raw material, the before pic 📸
  • outfile — the output CKD DASD file, in AWSCKD format. the glow-up. and listen: if the image is bigger than 2GB, multiple files get created with names suffixed _1, _2, etc. so don't be confused when your one file turns into a little squad 🧚✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -r — overwrite the existing outfile. because by default? no files will be overwritten. she is respectful of your existing files, periodt 🛑
  • -lfs — the output CKD file will be a single file even if it exceeds 2GB in size. big girl energy, one file, no splitting, no notes 💀
  • -q — quiet 🤫
