NAME

4     ewfexport — exports media data stored in EWF files
5

SYNOPSIS

7     ewfexport [-t target_file] [-hsqvV] ewf_files
8

DESCRIPTION

10     ewfexport is a utility to export media data stored in EWF files.
11
12     ewfexport is part of the libewf package.  libewf is a library to support
13     the Expert Witness Compression Format (EWF).  libewf supports both the
14     SMART format (EWF-S01) and the EnCase format (EWF-E01).  libewf currently
15     does not support the Logical Volume format (EWF-L01).  EWF-X is an expir‐
16     imental format intended for testing purposes to enhance the EWF format.
17     libewf allows you to read and write media data in the EWF format.
18
19     ewf_files are the EWF file(s) to read the meta data from.
20
21     The options are as follows:
22
23     -h      shows this help
24
25     -q      quiet shows no status information
26
27     -s      swap byte pairs of the media data (from AB to BA) (use this for
28             big to little endian conversion and vice versa)
29
30     -t target_file
31             target file to export to (default is stdout)
32
33     -v      verbose output to stderr
34
35     -V      print version

72     put -v is enabled.  Verbose and debug output are only printed when
73     enabled at compilation.
