chdman - MAME Compressed Hunks of Data (CHD) manager

chdman option

chdman is the (C)ompressed (H)unks of (D)ata (CHD) manager for MAME. It is a tool to manage CHD images.

Please note that each option allows a set of switches, the meaning of each is explained in the SWITCHES section below. Whenever the short form for the switch is listed, the long one may be used instead.
help [option]
Print a summary of the available options or, if option is given, a detailed list of the valid switches for the option.
info -i filename [-v]
Dump the header information from a drive image.
verify -i fileiname [-ip filename]
Validate the MD5/SHA1 on a drive image.
createraw -o filename [-op filename] [-f] -i filename [-isb offset] [-ish offset] [-ib length] [-ih length] -hs bytes -us bytes [-c none|type1[,[...]]] [-np processors]
Create a new compressed raw image from a raw file.
createhd -o filename [-op filename] [-f] [-i filename] [-isb offset] [-ish offset] [-ib length] [-ih length] [-hs bytes] [-c none|type1[,[...]]] [-chs cylinders,heads,sectors] [-ss bytes] [-np processors]
Create a new compressed hard disk image from a raw file.
createcd -o filename [-op filename] [-f] -i filename [-hs bytes] [-c none|type1[,[...]]] [-np processors]
Create a new compressed CD image from a raw file.
createld -o filename [-op filename] [-f] -i filename [-isf offset] [-if length] [-hs bytes] [-c none|type1[,[...]]] [-np processors]
Create a new compressed laserdisc image from a raw file.
extractraw -o filename [-f] -i filename [-ip filename] [-isb offset] [-ish offset] [-ib length] [-ih length]
Extract a raw file from a CHD image.
extracthd -o filename [-f] -i filename [-ip filename] [-isb offset] [-ish offset] [-ib length] [-ih length]
Extract a hard disk block image from a CHD image.
extractcd -o filename [-ob filename] [-f] -i filename [-ip filename]
Extract a CDRDAO .toc/.bin, CDRWIN .bin/.cue, or Sega Dreamcast .GDI file from a CHD-CD image.
extractld -o filename [-f] -i filename [-ip filename] [-isf offset] [-if length]

copy -o filename [-op filename] [-f] -i filename [-ip filename] [-isb offset] [-ish offset] [-ib length] [-ih length] -hs bytes [-c none|type1[,[...]]] [-np processors]
Copy all hunks of data from one CHD file to another. The hunk sizes do not need to match. If the source is shorter than the destination, the source data will be padded with 0s.
addmeta -i filename -t tag [-ix index] [-vt text] [-vf filename] [-nocs]
Add metadata to the chd.
delmeta -i filename -t tag [-ix index]
Remove metadata from the chd.
dumpmeta -i filename [-o filename] [-f] -t tag [-ix index]
