NAME

6       img_cat - Output contents of an image file.

SYNOPSIS

9       img_cat   [-i  imgtype]  [-b  dev_sector_size]  [-s  start_sector]  [-e
10       stop_sector] [-vV] image [images]

DESCRIPTION

13       img_cat outputs the contents of an image file.  Image  files  that  are
14       not raw will have embedded data and metadata.  img_cat will output only
15       the data.  This allows you to convert an embedded format to raw  or  to
16       calculate  the  MD5 hash of the data by piping the output to the appro‐
17       priate tool.

ARGUMENTS

21       -i imgtype
22              Identify the type of image file, such as raw or  aff.   Use  '-i
23              list'  to list the supported types.  If not given, autodetection
24              methods are used.
25
26       -b dev_sector_size
27              The size, in bytes, of the underlying device  sectors.   If  not
28              given,  the  value in the image format is used (if it exists) or
29              512-bytes is assumed.
30
31       -s start_sector
32              The sector number to start at.
33
34       -e stop_sector
35              The sector number to stop at.
36
37       -v     Verbose output of debugging statements to stderr
38
39       -V     Display version
40
41       image [images]
42              The disk or partition image to read, whose format is given  with
43              '-i'.   Multiple  image  file names can be given if the image is
44              split into multiple segments.  If only one image file is  given,
45              and  its  name is the first in a sequence (e.g., as indicated by
46              ending in '.001'), subsequent image segments  will  be  included
47              automatically.
