IMG_CAT(1)             DragonFly General Commands Manual            IMG_CAT(1)


NAME

       img_cat - Output contents of an image file.


SYNOPSIS

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


DESCRIPTION

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


ARGUMENTS

       -i imgtype
              Identify the type of image file, such as raw or aff.  Use '-i
              list' to list the supported types.  If not given, autodetection
              methods are used.

       -b dev_sector_size
              The size, in bytes, of the underlying device sectors.  If not
              given, the value in the image format is used (if it exists) or
              512-bytes is assumed.

       -s start_sector
              The sector number to start at.

       -e stop_sector
              The sector number to stop at.

       -v     Verbose output of debugging statements to stderr

       -V     Display version

       image [images]
              The disk or partition image to read, whose format is given with
              '-i'.  Multiple image file names can be given if the image is
              split into multiple segments.  If only one image file is given,
              and its name is the first in a sequence (e.g., as indicated by
              ending in '.001'), subsequent image segments will be included
              automatically.
