IMG_CAT(1)		     General Commands Manual		      IMG_CAT(1)

NAME
     img_cat - Output contents of an image file.

SYNOPSIS
     img_cat  [-i  imgtype] [-b dev_sector_size] [-s start_sector] [-e stop_sec-
     tor] [-vV] image [images]

DESCRIPTION
     img_cat outputs the contents of an image file.  Image files  that	are  not
     raw  will	have  embedded	data and metadata.  img_cat will output only the
     data.  This allows you to convert an embedded format to raw or to calculate
     the MD5 hash of the data by piping the output to the appropriate tool.

ARGUMENTS
     -i imgtype
	    Identify the type of image file, such as raw or aff.  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 underlying device sectors.  If not given,
	    the value in the image format is used (if it exists) or 512-bytes is
	    assumed.

     -s start_sector
	    The sector number to start at.

     -e stop_sector
	    The sector number to stop at.

     -v     Verbose output of debugging statements to stderr

     -V     Display version

     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.
