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	analy-
       sis. By default,	the database is	stored in the same  directory  as  the
       image with ".db"	appended to the	name or	the database name can be spec-
       ified 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  im-
	      age 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,  au-
	      todetection 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
