NAME

mmcat - Output the contents of a partition to stdout

SYNOPSIS

mmcat [-t mmtype ] [-o offset ] [ -i imgtype ] [-b dev_sector_size] [-vV] image [images] part_num

mmcat outputs the contents of a specific volume to stdout. This allows you to extract the contents of a partition to a separate file.

-t mmtype: Specify the media management type. Use '-t list' to list the supported types. If not given, autodetection methods are used.
-o offset: Specify the offset into the image where the volume containing the partition system starts. The relative offset of the partition system will be added to this value.
-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.
-i imgtype: Identify the type of image file, such as raw. Use '-i list' to list the supported types. If not given, autodetection methods are used.
-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.
part_num: Address of partition to process. See the mmls output to determine the address of the partitions.
