NAME

   bxcommit  -  Interactive  Tool to Commit Redologs into flat Disk Images
   for Bochs

SYNOPSIS

   bxcommit [options] [flat_filename] [redolog_filename]

DESCRIPTION

   Bxcommit is an easy to use console based tool for  committing  redologs
   into  flat  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.

OPTIONS

   When you run bxcommit without one of the  following  options,  it  will
   appear   in   interactive  mode and  ask   for  all required parameters
   to do the commit.

   -mode=undoable
          commit undoable redolog to flat file

   -mode=growing
          create flat disk image from growing disk image

   -d     delete redolog file after commit

   -q     quiet mode (don't prompt for user input)

   --help display this help and exit

   The first filename parameter specifies the name of the flat image  that
   will  be  created or modified. The second one specifies the name of the
   redolog.
