lifimage - make an LIF image file of a HP LIF floppy disk
lifimage <input device> <output file>
lifimage <input device>
(Writes output to standard output)
lifimage reads an HP LIF format 3.5 inch floppy disk and produces an LIF image file. This file can be processed by other LIF utilities or written back to a physical disk using lifdump If lifimage is executed with 2 arguments, then the second argument is used as the filename of the LIF image file. If it is executed with one argument then the file is written to standard output.
See comments in the source code for details of the image file format.
Note: you need read and write access to the floppy disk drive. Thus shelter your data with the write protect switch.
If device /dev/fd1 contains an HP LIF disk then
lifimage /dev/fd1 disk1.dat
will make an image of that disk in the file disk1.dat
