TSK_LOADDB(1)		     General Commands Manual		   TSK_LOADDB(1)

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

SYNOPSIS
     tsk_loaddb  [-ahkvV] [ -i imgtype ] [ -b dev_sector_size ] [ -i imgtype ] [
     -d database ] image [images]

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 de-
     fault, the database is stored in the same directory as the image with ".db"
     appended to the name or the database name can be specified with '-d'.

     The arguments are as follows:

     -a     Adds image to an existing database instead of creating  a  new  one.
	    Requires that -d be also specified.

     -d database
	    Path  for  the  database (default is the same directory as the image
	    with name derived from image name

     -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.

     -h     Calculate MD5 hash value for each file and store it in table.   This
	    option will make the program run slower.

     -i imgtype
	    The  format  of  the image file, such as raw.  Use '-i list' to list
	    the supported types.  If not given, autodetection methods are used.

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

     image [images]
	    The disk or partition image to read,  whose  format  is  given  with
	    '-i'.   Multiple image file names can be given if the image is split
	    into multiple segments.  If only one image file is	given,	and  its
	    name  is  the  first  in a sequence (e.g., as indicated by ending in
	    '.001'), subsequent image segments will be included automatically.

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

	  # tsk_loaddb ./image.dd
