# mmstat(1)

Display details about the volume system (partition tables)

## NAME

mmstat - Display details about the volume system (partition tables)

## SYNOPSIS

**mmstat \[-t** *mmtype* **\] \[-o** *offset* **\] \[ -i** *imgtype* **\] \[-b dev\_sector\_size\] \[-vV\]** *image \[images\]*

## DESCRIPTION

**mmstat** displays the general details of a volume system, which includes partition tables and disk labels.  Mainly, the type is given.

## ARGUMENTS

- \-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.
