NAME¶

img_cat - Output contents of an image file.

SYNOPSIS¶

img_cat [-i imgtype] [-b dev_sector_size] [-b start_sector] [-e stop_sector] [-vV] image [images]

DESCRIPTION¶

img_cat outputs the contents of an image file. Image files that are not raw will have embedded data and metadata. img_cat will output only the data. This allows you to convert an embedded format to raw or to calculate the MD5 hash of the data by piping the output to the appropriate tool.

ARGUMENTS¶

-i imgtype

Identify the type of image file, such as raw, split, or aff. Use '-i list' to list the supported types. If not given, autodetection methods are used.

-b dev_sector_size

The size, in bytes, of the underlying device sectors. If not given, the value in the image format is used (if it exists) or 512-bytes is assumed.

-s start_sector

The sector number to start at.

-e stop_sector

The sector number to stop at.

-v

Verbose output of debugging statements to stderr

-V

Display version

image [images]

One (or more if split) disk or partition images whose format is given with '-i'.
