NAME

       affcat - Output contents of an image file to stdout.

SYNOPSIS

       affcat [options] image [images]

DESCRIPTION

       affcat  outputs the contents of an image file to stdout.  Image files that are not raw but
       are recognized by AFF will be output in raw format. Missing pages will not be padded,  but
       the fact that they are missing will be noted on STDERR.

       The options are as follows:

       -s name
              Output  the  named  segment,  instead  of  the  image data. This is a way to output
              metadata.

       -p nnn Just output page number nnn

       -S nnn Just output data sector number nnn.  Sector #0 is the first sector.

       -q     Quiet mode. Don't print to STDERR if a page is skipped because it is not present.

       -n     Noisy mode. Tell when pages are skipped.

       -l     List all the segment names, rather than outputting data.

       -L     List Long. Prints segment names, lengths, and args.

       -d     Debug mode. Print the page numbers to stderr as data goes to stdout.

       -b     Output BADFALG for bad blocks (default is to output NULLs).

       -v     Just print the version number and exit.

       -r offset:count
              Seek to the given byte offset and output count characters  in  each  file;  may  be
              repeated.
