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.
