NAME

lsinitramfs - list content of an initramfs image

SYNOPSIS

lsinitramfs [-l] initramfs-file...
lsinitramfs -h

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

Display usage information and exit.

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, except where an early (uncompressed) initramfs with system firmware is prepended to the regular compressed initramfs.
