convert allows conversion of training data between any of .plain, .bin, and .binpack.
As all commands in stockfish convert can be invoked either from command line (as stockfish.exe convert ...) or in the interactive prompt.
The syntax of this command is as follows:
convert from_path to_path [append] [validate]
from_path is the path to the file to convert from. The type of the data is deduced based on its extension (one of .plain, .bin, .binpack).
to_path is the path to an output file. The type of the data is deduced from its extension. If the file does not exist it is created.
append and validate can come in any order and are optional.
If append not specified then the output file will be truncated prior to any writes. If append is specified then the converted training data will be appended to the end of the output file.
If validate is specified then the conversion will stop on the first illegal move found and a diagnostic will be shown.
