NAME

6       afcat - Output contents of an image file to stdout.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       afcat [options] image [images]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       affcat  outputs  the  contents of an image file to stdout.  Image files
13       that are not raw but are recognized by AFF will be output in  raw  for‐
14       mat. Missing pages will not be padded, but the fact that they are miss‐
15       ing will be noted on STDERR.
16
17       The options are as follows:
18
19       -s name
20              Output the named segment, instead of the image data. This  is  a
21              way to output metadata.
22
23       -p nnn Just output page number nnn
24
25       -S nnn Just output data sector number nnn.  Sector #0 is the first sec‐
26              tor.
27
28       -q     Quiet mode. Don't print to STDERR if a page is  skipped  because
29              it is not present.
30
31       -n     Noisy mode. Tell when pages are skipped.
32
33       -l     List all the segment names, rather than outputing data.
34
35       -L     List Long. Prints segment names, lengths, and args.
36
37       -d     Debug  mode.  Print  the  page numbers to stderr as data goes to
38              stdout.
39
40       -b     Output BADFALG for bad blocks (default is to output NULLs).
41
42       -v     Just print the version number and exit.
43
44       -r offset:count
45              Seek to the given byte offset and  output  count  characters  in
46              each file; may be repeated.
