NAME
       pce-img - the PCE disk image utility


SYNOPSIS
       pce-img commit [options] base [cow...]

       pce-img convert [options] source target

       pce-img cow [options] base [cow...]

       pce-img create [options] [target...]

       pce-img info [options] [source...]

DESCRIPTION
       pce-img(1) is used to create and convert disk image files.


OPTIONS
       -c, --cylinders cylinders
              Set  the number of cylinders. If cylinders is auto then the num-
              ber of cylinders is calculated from the image size,  the  number
              of heads and the number of sectors per track.

       -C, --min-cluster-size size
              Set  the  minimum  allocation block size for pbi and qed images.
              The actual size used will not be smaller than size, but  it  may
              be larger. The default is 0.

       -f, --offset offset
              Set the starting offset of raw disk images.

       -g, --geometry cylinders heads sectors
              Set  the disk geometry. This is the same as using the -c, -h and
              -s options.

       -h, --heads heads
              Set the number of heads. If heads is auto  then  the  number  of
              heads is calculated from the image size, the number of cylinders
              and the number of sectors per track.

       -i, --input filename
              Set the input file name.

       -I, --input-type type
              Set the input file type. Supported input types are:

              chd    MAME CHD disk image. Only uncompressed version  5  images
                     are supported.

              dosemu DOSEMU disk image

              pbi    PCE block image

              pimg   Old PCE disk image

              qed    QEMU QED disk image

              raw, img
                     Raw disk image

       -n, --size size
              Set the disk image size. The following suffixes to size are rec-
              ognized:

              B      Bytes (1)

              K      KiB (1024)

              M      MiB (1024^2)

              G      GiB (1024^3)

              T      TiB (1024^4)

              none   Blocks (512)

       -o, --output filename
              Set the output file name.

       -O, --output-type type
              Set the output file type. Supported input types are:

              dosemu DOSEMU disk image

              pbi    PCE block image

              pimg   Old PCE disk image

              qed    QEMU QED disk image

              raw, img
                     Raw disk image

       -q, --quiet
              Quiet operation.

       -s, --sectors sectors
              Set the number of sectors per track. If sectors is auto then the
              number  of  sectors per track is calculated from the image size,
              the number of cylinders and the number of heads.

       -w, --cow filename
              Add a COW image on top of the last input or output image.

       -W, --cow-type type
              Set the COW file type. Supported COW types are:

              pbi    PCE block image

              qed    QEMU QED disk image

       --help Print usage information.

       --version
              Print version information.


EXAMPLES
       Create a 1 GiB PIMG image:

              $ pce-img create -n 1024M -o image.pimg

       Create a 10 MB PIMG image

              $ pce-img create -g 306 4 17 -o image.pimg

       Convert a PIMG image to a raw image

              $ pce-img convert source.pimg dest.img
