Options
Option Param Description
-T --titles file Read file for disc titles. -T/ disables automatic search for title files.
--utf-8 Enables UTF-8 support for filenames (default).
--no-utf-8 Disables UTF-8 support for filenames.
--lang lang Define the language for titles.
-v --verbose Be verbose and explain the actions.
-s --size size Define then total size of a WBFS file. 'size' is a floating number optionally followed by one of the single letter factors 'kKmMgGtT'. This value is only used while creating a new WBFS file.
-z --split Enable output file splitting. The default split size is 4 GB.
-Z --split-size sz Enable output file splitting and define a split size. The parameter 'sz' is a floating point number followed by an optional unit factor (one of 'cb' [=1] or 'kmgtpe' [base=1000] or 'KMGTPE' [base=1024]). The default unit is 'G' (GiB).
--hss size Define HD sector size. The parameter 'size' is a floating point number followed by an optional unit factor (one of 'cb' [=1] or 'kmgtpe' [base=1000] or 'KMGTPE' [base=1024]). Only power of 2 values larger or equal 512 are accepted. The default value is 512.
--wss size Define WBFS sector size. The parameter 'size' is a floating point number followed by an optional unit factor (one of 'cb' [=1] or 'kmgtpe' [base=1000] or 'KMGTPE' [base=1024]). Only power of 2 values larger or equal 1024 are accepted. If not set the WBFS sector size is calculated automatically.
--recover Format a WBFS in recover mode: Write the WBFS sector, but don't reset the disc info area. Then look into each disc slot to find valid discs and restore them.
--inode Force creating inode infos with predefined timestamps. The timestamps reduce effect of sparse files. This option is set for devices automatically.
-t --test Force test mode and ignore --force.
-f --force This option is needed for leaving test mode and for real formatting!
