NAME
afcat - Output contents of an image file to stdout.
SYNOPSIS
afcat [options] image [images]
DESCRIPTION
affcat outputs the contents of an image file to stdout. Image files that are not raw but are recognized by AFF will be output in raw for-
mat. Missing pages will not be padded, but the fact that they are missing will be noted on STDERR.
The options are as follows:
-s name
Output the named segment, instead of the image data. This is a way to output metadata.
-p nnn Just output page number nnn
-S nnn Just output data sector number nnn. Sector #0 is the first sector.
-q Quiet mode. Don't print to STDERR if a page is skipped because it is not present.
-n Noisy mode. Tell when pages are skipped.
-l List all the segment names, rather than outputing data.
-L List Long. Prints segment names, lengths, and args.
-d Debug mode. Print the page numbers to stderr as data goes to stdout.
-b Output BADFALG for bad blocks (default is to output NULLs).
-v Just print the version number and exit.
-r offset:count
Seek to the given byte offset and output count characters in each file; may be repeated.
HISTORY
afcat first appeared in AFFLIB v1.00.
