No documentation for splitting disk images into chunks

Open dell-optiplex-790 opened this issue 1 month ago • 2 comments

I'd like to split a raw disk image (like how it's done in https://i.copy.sh/arch/58c2bc38.bin) in order to not have to load the whole image into RAM, but there is no documentation on what the format of the filenames is supposed to be (all I see is just "hex number dot bin" and that does not help) and which file format I should use for splitting (I assume that I have to split the image into raw chunks). Is there any way in which you could help me?

You can use tools/split-image.py. It's kinda documented here: https://github.com/copy/v86/blob/db22e06746d7adfd3b8c01be29fd15dea4b3bd37/v86.d.ts#L17-L19

But I agree that it could be documented better.

OK, thanks for the clarification.
