# geteltorito(1)

an El Torito boot image extractor

## NAME

geteltorito - an El Torito boot image extractor

## SYNOPSIS

**geteltorito** \<*image*\|*device*\> \[**-o** *outputfile*\]\

## DESCRIPTION

**geteltorito** is a Perl script which extracts the initial/default **El Torito** boot image from a CD if one exists. It will not extract any of other boot images that are allowed by the El Torito standard.

The boot image file is written to **stdout** and all other information (e.g., image type and size) is written to **stderr**. To write the image to a file instead of **stdout**, specify the output filename using **-o** *filename*.

## SEE ALSO

[**genisoimage**(1)](/genisoimage/1.md), [**isoinfo**(1)](/isoinfo/1.md).\
