15 disk images, particularly for use with Bochs. It is
16 completely interactive if no command line arguments are
17 used. It can be switched to a non-interactive mode if all
18 required parameters are given in the command line.
22 When you run bximage without one of the following options,
23 it will appear in interactive mode and ask for all
24 required parameters to create an image.

35 sample for supported options).

42 Quiet mode (don't prompt for user input). Without this
43 option bximage uses the command line parameters as
44 defaults for the interactive mode. If this option is
45 given and one of the required parameters is missing,
46 bximage will fall back to interactive mode.
