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 analy-
       sis. 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  cre-
	      ated 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
