SIGFIND(1)		     General Commands Manual		      SIGFIND(1)

NAME
     sigfind - Find a binary signature in a file

SYNOPSIS
     sigfind  [-b  bsize  ]  [-o offset ] [-t template ] [-lV] [ hex_signature ]
     file

DESCRIPTION
     sigfind searches through a file and looks for the hex_signature at a  given
     offset.  This can be used to search for lost boot sectors, superblocks, and
     partition tables.

ARGUMENTS
     -b bsize
	    Specify  the  block size in which to search.  The default is 512 and
	    the value must be a multiple of 512.

     -o offset
	    Specify the offset in a block in which  the  signature  must  exist.
	    The default is 0.

     -t template
	    Specify a template name that defines the signature value and offset.
	    Run with no options to get a list of supported templates.

     -l     The signature is stored in little-endian ordering and must therefore
	    be reversed.

     -V     Display version

     [hex_signature]
	    The  binary  signature that you are searching for.	It must be given
	    in hexadecimal format.  This argument must exist if -t is not used.

     file   Any raw data.

EXAMPLES
     sigfind -o 510 -l AA55 disk.dd

     sigfind -t fat disk.dd
