pro_fmt - Create a blank Apple II ProDOS disk image file
This document describes version 0.201 of pro_fmt, released September 12, 2015 as part of AppleII-LibA2 version 0.201.
pro_fmt [options] FILE
pro_fmt creates blank ProDOS disk images. The images are NOT bootable, because they lack the necessary code in the boot blocks, unless you use the "--boot-from" option to copy the boot blocks from a bootable disk image.
Note that some emulators cannot deal with image files that are smaller than their nominal size. That is, they expect a 280 block disk image file to be 143,360 bytes long. Always use the "--extend" option when creating image files for such emulators.
-b, --boot-from=FILE Copy boot blocks from disk image FILE -e, --extend Extend FILE to its maximum size -f, --force Overwrite an existing file -d, --dos-order Make a DOS 3.3-order image file -p, --prodos-order Make a ProDOS-order image file -s, --size=BLOCKS Make the image BLOCKS blocks in size (default 280) -v, --volume=NAME Use NAME for the ProDOS volume name (default NEWDISK) --help Display this help message --version Display version information
pro_fmt requires no configuration files or environment variables.
