DESCRIPTION
     ewfacquirestream is a utility to acquire media data from stdin and store
     it in EWF format (Expert Witness Format).	ewfacquirestream acquires
     media data in a format equivalent to EnCase and FTK imager, including
     meta data. Under Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, MacOS-X/Darwin

     ewfacquirestream is part of the libewf package.  libewf is a library to
     access the Expert Witness Compression Format (EWF).

     The options are as follows:

     -A codepage
	     the codepage of header section, options: ascii (default), win‐
	     dows-874, windows-932, windows-936, windows-949, windows-950,
	     windows-1250, windows-1251, windows-1252, windows-1253, win‐
	     dows-1254, windows-1255, windows-1256, windows-1257 or win‐
	     dows-1258

     -b number_of_sectors
	     the number of sectors to read at once (per chunk), options: 16,
	     32, 64 (default), 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384 or
	     32768

     -B number_of_bytes
	     the number of bytes to acquire

     -c compression_values
	     specify the compression values as: level or method:level compres‐
	     sion method options: deflate (default), bzip2 (bzip2 is only sup‐
	     ported by EWF2 formats) compression level options: none
	     (default), empty-block, fast or best

     -C case_number
	     the case number (default is case_number)

     -d digest_type
	     calculate additional digest (hash) types besides md5, options:
	     sha1, sha256

     -D description
	     the description (default is description)

     -e examiner_name
	     the examiner name (default is examiner_name)

     -E evidence_number
	     the evidence number (default is evidence_number)

     -f format
	     the EWF file format to write to, options: ftk, encase2, encase3,
	     encase4, encase5, encase6 (default), encase7, linen5, linen6,
	     linen7, ewfx.  libewf does not support streamed writes for other
	     EWF formats.

     -h	     shows this help

     -l log_filename
	     logs acquiry errors and the digest (hash) to the log filename

     -m media_type
	     the media type, options: fixed (default), removable, optical,
	     memory

     -M media_flags
	     the media flags, options: logical, physical (default)

     -N notes
	     the notes (default is notes)

     -o offset
	     the offset to start to acquire (default is 0)

     -p process_buffer_size
	     the process buffer size (default is the chunk size)

     -P bytes_per_sector
	     the number of bytes per sector (default is 512)

     -q	     quiet shows minimal status information

     -s	     swap byte pairs of the media data (from AB to BA) (use this for
	     big to little endian conversion and vice versa)

     -S segment_file_size
	     the segment file size in bytes (default is 1.4 GiB) (minimum is
	     1.0 MiB, maximum is 7.9 EiB for encase6 and encase7 format and
	     1.9 GiB for other formats)

     -t target
	     the target file (without extension) to write to (default is
	     image)

     -v	     verbose output to stderr

     -V	     print version

     -x	     use the chunk data instead of the buffered read and write func‐
	     tions.

     -2 secondary_target
	     the secondary target file (without extension) to write to

     ewfacquirestream will read from stding until it encounters a read error.
     On read error it will stop no error information is stored in the EWF
     file(s).

     Empty block compression detects blocks of sectors with entirely the same
     byte data and compresses them using the default compression level.

     # ewfacquirestream -C 1 -D Floppy -E 1.1 -e 'John D.' -N 'Just a floppy in my system' -m removable -M logical -t floppy </dev/fd0

     Acquiry started at: Sun Aug  5 11:32:41 2012

     This could take a while.

     Status: acquired 1.4 MiB (1474560 bytes)
	     in 1 second(s) with 1 MiB/s (1474560 bytes/second).

     Acquiry completed at: Sun Aug  5 11:32:42 2012

     Written: 1.4 MiB (1474560 bytes) in 1 second(s) with 1 MiB/s (1474560 bytes/second).

DIAGNOSTICS
     Errors, verbose and debug output are printed to stderr when verbose out‐
     put -v is enabled. Verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled
     at compilation.
