NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       tsk_loaddb [-vVk] [-i imgtype ] [-b dev_sector_size ] [-i imgtype ] [-d output_dir ] image

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.

       The arguments are as follows:

       -d output_dir
              specify  a directory to output the database file to (must be an existing directory)
              if not specified the database file will be created in the  same  directory  as  the
              image file

       -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.

       -i imgtype
              The format of the image file (use '-i list' for supported types)

       -b dev_sector_size
              The size (in bytes) of the device sectors If -i or -b are not given,  autodetection
              methods are used.

EXAMPLES

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

            # tsk_loaddb ./image.dd
