.SH DESCRIPTION
Convert \fIfiles\fP from RAW to AFF, AFF to RAW and AFF to AFF
(recompressing/uncompressing). WARNING: the source file must have 'raw'
or 'aff' as extension in name.
.PP
This file is part of the AFFLIBv3, that provides AFF.

AFF is an open and extensible file format to store disk images and associated
metadata. It is useful in several scenaries, as computer forensics
investigations.

.B
\fB-a\fP<ext>
Use 'ext' for aff \fIfiles\fP (default is aff; afd for AFD \fIfiles\fP).
.TP
.B
\fB-L\fP
Use the LZMA compression algorithm (better but slower).
.TP

\fB-Mn\fP[kmg]
Set maximum size of output file. Suffix with k, m or g. Use with \fB-o\fP.
.TP

\fB-s\fP<n>
Set the image_pagesize as 'n' (default 16777216).
.TP

Convert file1.aff to file1.raw:
.PP
.nf
.fam C
$ affconvert -r file1.aff
.fam T

Batch convert \fIfiles\fP:
.PP
.nf
.fam C
$ affconvert file1.raw file2.raw file3.raw
.fam T
.fi
.PP
.nf
.fam C
$ affconvert -r file1.aff file2.aff file3.aff
.fam T
