NAME

       tsk_loaddb - populate a SQLite database with metadata from a disk image

SYNOPSIS

       tsk_loaddb [-ahkvV] [ -i imgtype ] [ -b dev_sector_size ] [ -i imgtype ] [ -d database ] image [images]

DESCRIPTION

       tsk_loaddb  loads  disk  information  from image to a SQLite database.  This database can then be used by
       tools in other languages for analysis. By default, the database is stored in the same  directory  as  the
       image with ".db" appended to the name or the database name can be specified with '-d'.

       The arguments are as follows:

       -a     Adds  image  to  an  existing  database  instead  of creating a new one.  Requires that -d be also
              specified.

       -d database
              Path for the database (default is the same directory as the image with  name  derived  from  image
              name

       -v     verbose output to stderr

       -V     Print version

       -k     Don't  create  block  data table.  This table maps each block to the file that allocated it.  This
              option will make this program run faster.

       -h     Calculate MD5 hash value for each file and store it in table.  This option will make  the  program
              run slower.

       -i imgtype
              The  format  of  the  image file, such as raw.  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 device sectors.  If not given, autodetection methods are used.

       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.

EXAMPLES

       To load image data from image.dd to image.dd.db:

            # tsk_loaddb ./image.dd
