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,  su-
       perblocks, 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 tem-
	      plates.

       -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
