     NAME
          lifdump - dump a LIF disk image to a physical LIF disk

     SYNOPSIS
          lifdump <input file> <output device>

          lifdump <output device>

          (Reads input from standard input)

     DESCRIPTION
          lifdump reads a LIF disk image file, as produced by lifimage
          and writes it to a pre-formatted LIF disk. The original
          contents of the disk (and the directory) are overwritten by
          this command and are thus lost. If lifdump is executed with
          2 arguments, then the contents of the file named by the
          first argument are written to the device specified by the
          second argument. If it is executed with one argument, then
          the standard input stream is written to the device specified
          by that argument.

          The disk must have already been formatted as an HP LIF disk,
          for example using a series 40 or series 70 machine and an
          HP9114 disk drive.

          See comments in the lifimage source code for details of the
          image file format.

     EXAMPLES
          If the file disk1.lif contains a LIF disk image then

          lifdump disk1.lif /dev/fd1

          will dump that file to a preformatted disk in device
          /dev/fd1

     BUGS
          No attempt has been made to handle bad track replacements.
          The image is always written to the first 77 cylinders of the
          disk.
