NAME
       affcat - Output contents of an image file to stdout.

SYNOPSIS
       affcat [options] image [images]

DESCRIPTION
       affcat  outputs	the  contents of an image file to stdout.  Image files
       that are not raw but are recognized by AFF will be output in  raw  for‐
       mat. Missing pages will not be padded, but the fact that they are miss‐
       ing will be noted on STDERR.

       The options are as follows:

       -s name
	      Output the named segment, instead of the image data. This	 is  a
	      way to output metadata.

       -p nnn Just output page number nnn

       -S nnn Just output data sector number nnn.  Sector #0 is the first sec‐
	      tor.

       -q     Quiet mode. Don't print to STDERR if a page is  skipped  because
	      it is not present.

       -n     Noisy mode. Tell when pages are skipped.

       -l     List all the segment names, rather than outputting data.

       -L     List Long. Prints segment names, lengths, and args.

       -d     Debug  mode.  Print  the	page numbers to stderr as data goes to
	      stdout.

       -b     Output BADFALG for bad blocks (default is to output NULLs).

       -v     Just print the version number and exit.

       -r offset:count
	      Seek to the given byte offset and	 output	 count	characters  in
	      each file; may be repeated.

HISTORY
       affcat first appeared in AFFLIB v1.00.
