NAME

6       tsk_loaddb - populate a SQLite database with metadata from a disk image
7

SYNOPSIS

9       tsk_loaddb  [-ahkvV] [ -i imgtype ] [ -b dev_sector_size ] [ -i imgtype
10       ] [ -d database ] image [images]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       tsk_loaddb loads disk information from  image  to  a  SQLite  database.
14       This  database  can then be used by tools in other languages for analy‐
15       sis. By default, the database is stored in the same  directory  as  the
16       image with ".db" appended to the name or the database name can be spec‐
17       ified with '-d'.
18
19       The arguments are as follows:
20
21       -a     Adds image to an existing database instead  of  creating  a  new
22              one.  Requires that -d be also specified.
23
24       -d database
25              Path  for  the  database  (default  is the same directory as the
26              image with name derived from image name
27
28       -v     verbose output to stderr
29
30       -V     Print version
31
32       -k     Don't create block data table.  This table maps  each  block  to
33              the  file that allocated it.  This option will make this program
34              run faster.
35
36       -h     Calculate MD5 hash value for each file and store  it  in  table.
37              This option will make the program run slower.
38
39       -i imgtype
40              The  format  of  the  image file, such as raw.  Use '-i list' to
41              list the supported types.  If not given,  autodetection  methods
42              are used.
43
44       -b dev_sector_size
45              The  size  (in  bytes)  of  the  device  sectors.  If not given,
46              autodetection methods are used.
47
48       image [images]
49              The disk or partition image to read, whose format is given  with
50              '-i'.   Multiple  image  file names can be given if the image is
51              split into multiple segments.  If only one image file is  given,
52              and  its  name is the first in a sequence (e.g., as indicated by
53              ending in '.001'), subsequent image segments  will  be  included
54              automatically.

EXAMPLES

58       To load image data from image.dd to image.dd.db:
