SIGFIND(1)             DragonFly General Commands Manual            SIGFIND(1)


NAME

       sigfind - Find a binary signature in a file


SYNOPSIS

       sigfind [-b bsize ] [-o offset ] [-t template ] [-lV] [ hex_signature ]
       file


DESCRIPTION

       sigfind searches through a file and looks for the hex_signature at a
       given offset.  This can be used to search for lost boot sectors,
       superblocks, and partition tables.


ARGUMENTS

       -b bsize
              Specify the block size in which to search.  The default is 512
              and the value must be a multiple of 512.

       -o offset
              Specify the offset in a block in which the signature must exist.
              The default is 0.

       -t template
              Specify a template name that defines the signature value and
              offset.  Run with no options to get a list of supported
              templates.

       -l     The signature is stored in little-endian ordering and must
              therefore be reversed.

       -V     Display version

       [hex_signature]
              The binary signature that you are searching for.  It must be
              given in hexadecimal format.  This argument must exist if -t is
              not used.

       file   Any raw data.


EXAMPLES

       sigfind -o 510 -l AA55 disk.dd

       sigfind -t fat disk.dd
