README
Copy hybrid iso image to USB device safely with `dd` tool. If the image is not hybrid, it dds the image as is. If the `-c` flag is passed then it converts the non-hybrid image to hybrid in-place (you will have to backup it manually if you want).
# Dependencies
When `-c` option is given, if the image provided is not hybrid, it tries to convert it to hybrid image, which depends on `isohybrid` (which further depends on `syslinux`, `syslinux-utils`) .
# Install
You can use it from the directory where it resides, or you can install it with:
```bash
chmod +x ./chibu #giving execution permission
./install.sh #as root
```
# Usage
```bash
./chibu iso_path usb_device [options]
#or if you installed it, then:
chibu iso_path usb_device [options]
```
# Options:
```bash
iso_path Path to ISO image
usb_device USB device path (e.g. /dev/sdb)
-b, --block Block size
-c, --conv Convert to hybrid if not
-h , --help Show this help message
-v, --version Show version info
```
