NAME

       lsinitramfs - list content of an initramfs image

SYNOPSIS

       lsinitramfs [-l] initramfs-file...
       lsinitramfs -h

DESCRIPTION

       The  lsinitramfs  command  lists  the  content of given initramfs images. It allows one to
       quickly check the content of one (or multiple) specified initramfs files.

OPTIONS

       -h     Display usage information and exit.

       -l     Display long and more verbose listing of initramfs content.

USAGE EXAMPLES

       List initramfs content of current running kernel:

       lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r)

       List content of two initramfs files in verbose mode:

       lsinitramfs -l /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-grml64 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33-grml64

BUGS

       lsinitramfs cannot deal with multiple-segmented initramfs images, except  where  an  early
       (uncompressed)  initramfs  with  system  firmware  is  prepended to the regular compressed
       initramfs.
