img_cat - Output contents of an image file.
img_cat [-i imgtype]
[-b dev_sector_size] [-s start_sector] [-e stop_sector] [-vV] image [images]
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.
- -i imgtype
- Identify the type of image file, such as raw 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]
- The disk or partition
image to read, whose format is given with ’-i’. Multiple image file names can
be given if the image is split into multiple segments. If only one image
file is given, and its name is the first in a sequence (e.g., as indicated
by ending in ’.001’), subsequent image segments will be included automatically.
