NAME¶
lsinitramfs - list content of an initramfs image
SYNOPSIS¶
lsinitramfs [
options]
<initramfsfile>
[
<initramfsfile>]
DESCRIPTION¶
The
lsinitramfs command lists the content of given initramfs images. It
allows one to quickly check the content of one (or multiple) specified
initramfs files.
OPTIONS¶
- -h
- Display usage information and exit.
- -l
- Display long and more verbose listing of initramfs content.
USAGE EXAMPLES¶
List initramfs content of current running kernel:
lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r)
List content of two initramfs files in verbose mode:
lsinitramfs -l /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-grml64 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33-grml64
BUGS¶
lsinitramfs cannot deal with multiple-segmented initramfs images, such as
those created when an early (uncompressed) initramfs with system firmware is
prepended to the regular compressed initrams, or when overlay data is appended
to the initramfs.
