NAME
       exfat2img - dump metadata of an exFAT filesystem

SYNOPSIS
       exfat2img [ -o path] [ -V ] device
       exfat2img -V

DESCRIPTION
       exfat2img dump metadata of exFAT filesystems for debugging. exfat2img
       dump boot sector, File Allcation Table, Bitmap and all metadata which
       can reach from root directory.


OPTIONS
       -o --output
              Specify output result file. If filesystem to which output file
              is written does not support sparse file, you should use '-' in
              place of path.  Because a dump image generated from stdout has a
              special format, when restoring a partition from it, exfat2img
              should be used. See Examples.

       -V     Prints the version number and exits.


EXAMPLES
       Dump metadata into a sparse file.
       $ exfat2img -o sda1.dump /dev/sda1

       Dump metadata into standard out and restore a partition
       $ exfat2img -o - /dev/sda1 | bzip2 > sda1.dump.bz2
       $ bzip2 -dc sda1.dump.bz2 | exfat2img -o /dev/sdb1 -

                                                                  exfat2img(8)
