.SH DESCRIPTION
.B tsk_loaddb
loads disk information from 
.I image
to a sqlite database.  This database can then be used by tools in other languages for analysis. By default, the database is stored in the same directory as the image with ".db" appended to the name. 

The arguments are as follows:
.IP "-d output_dir"
specify a directory to output the database file to 
(must be an existing directory) if not specified the
database file will be created in the same directory
as the image file
.IP -v
verbose output to stderr
.IP -V
Print version
.IP -k
Don't create block data table.  This table maps each block to the file that
allocated it.  This option will make this program run faster.
.IP "-i imgtype"
The format of the image file (use '\-i list' for supported types)
.IP "-b dev_sector_size"
The size (in bytes) of the device sectors
If \-i or \-b are not given, autodetection methods are used.

.SH EXAMPLES
To load image data from image.dd to image.dd.db:

	# tsk_loaddb ./image.dd
