💾 mergebad — merge multiple images into one 💾

okay bestie, gather round, because this little tool is genuinely iconic and you're gonna want to know her 💅

✨ NAME ✨

mergebad — merge multiple images into one 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mergebad -i <mapfile><imagefile> -o <output_file> -l <mapfile> -s <size> -v -h

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So mergebad does exactly what it says on the tin: it merges multiple images into one. ✨

And the way that this is lowkey a lifesaver — picture this: you've got a bunch of CDs, all holding the same data, and they're all damaged 😭. Tragic. But not the end of the world, because you can first use recoverdm to pull the data off the damaged CDs into image files, and then smoosh them all together into one single image with mergebad. no cap, it's giving rescue mission energy 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -i <mapfile> <imagefile> — picks a mapfile + imagefile combo to read from. that's the input, bestie 🍓
  • -o <output_file> — the file where the output goes. the main character destination 💖
  • -l <mapfile> — for the situation where every single input image had a bad block in the same exact spot: this file will list those blocks. consider it a receipts file 🧾
  • -s <size> — limits or extends the size of the output image. you're in control, periodt 💅
  • -v — be verbose. spill the tea, tell us everything 🗣️
  • -h — this help. the classic. 🌈
