NAME

       img_cat - Output contents of an image file.

SYNOPSIS

       img_cat  [-i  imgtype] [-b dev_sector_size] [-b 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, split, 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]
              One (or more if split) disk or partition images whose format is given with '-i'.
