NAME
img_cat - Output contents of an image file.
SYNOPSIS
img_cat [-i imgtype] [-b dev_sector_size] [-s 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 appro-
priate tool.
ARGUMENTS
-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.
