.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
Bximage is an easy to use console based tool for creating
disk images, particularly for use with Bochs. It is
completely interactive if no command line arguments are
used. It can be switched to a non-interactive mode if all
required parameters are given in the command line.

.SH OPTIONS
.LP
When you run bximage without one of the following options,
it will appear in interactive mode and ask for all
required parameters to create an image.
.TP
.BI \-fd
Create a floppy image.
.TP
.BI \-hd
Create a hard disk image.
.TP
.BI \-mode=...
Image mode (for hard disks only - see the
.I bochsrc
sample for supported options).
.TP
.BI \-size=...
Image size in megabytes (e.g. 1.44 for floppy image, 10
for hard disk image).
.TP
.BI \-q
Quiet mode (don't prompt for user input). Without this
option bximage uses the command line parameters as
defaults for the interactive mode. If this option is
given and one of the required parameters is missing,
bximage will fall back to interactive mode.
.TP
.BI \--help
Print a summary of the command line options for
bximage and exit.
.LP
The
.I filename
parameter specifies the name of the image to be created.
