NAME
       mmcat - Output the contents of a partition to stdout

SYNOPSIS
       mmcat [-t mmtype ] [-o offset ] [ -i imgtype ] [-b dev_sector_size]
       [-vV] image [images] part_num

DESCRIPTION
       mmcat outputs the contents of a specific volume to stdout.  This allows
       you to extract the contents of a partition to a separate file.

ARGUMENTS
       -t mmtype
              Specify the media management type.  Use '-t list' to list the
              supported types.  If not given, autodetection methods are used.

       -o offset
              Specify the offset into the image where the volume containing
              the partition system starts.  The relative offset of the
              partition system will be added to this value.

       -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.

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

       -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.

       part_num
              Address of partition to process.  See the mmls output to
              determine the address of the partitions.
