This operation will analyze a media dump and, if the format is recognized, create a CICM XML metadata sidecar with all information that can be automatically retrieved from it, as well as all supported checksum algorithms.
Aaru -d [true/false] -v [true/false] image create-sidecar -h [true/false] -b [block size] -e [encoding] -t tape [true/false] <image-path>-d, --debug [true/false] shows debug output (default false)
-v, --verbose [true/false] shows verbose output (default false)
-h, --help [true/false] shows help screen for the command instead of running it, ignores all other switches (default false)
-b, --block-size [block size] used only for tapes, indicates fixed block size in bytes. File in dump folder not multiple of this value will be ignored (default 512)
-e, --encoding [encoding] sets which encoding is used by the contents of the media dump (default varies by filesystem)
-t, --tape [true/false] indicates that dump points to a folder containing alphabetically sorted files extracted from a linear block-based tape with fixed block size (e.g. a SCSI streaming device) (default false)
