# img\_stat(1)

Display details of an image file

## NAME

img\_stat - Display details of an image file

## SYNOPSIS

**img\_stat \[-i imgtype\] \[-b dev\_sector\_size\] \[-tvV\]** *image \[images\]*

## DESCRIPTION

**img\_stat** displays the details associated with an image file.  The output of this command is image format specific.  At a minimum, the size will be given  and the byte range of each file will be given for split image formats.

## ARGUMENTS

- \-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.

- \-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.

- \-t

  Print the image type only.

- \-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.
