mmstat1

Display details about the volume system (partition tables)

Usage

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

Overview

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.
