6 affcat - Output contents of an image file to stdout.
7
9 affcat [options] image [images]
10
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 outputting 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.
47
49 affcat first appeared in AFFLIB v1.00.
