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
