NAME
       lsinitrd - tool to show the contents of an initramfs image

SYNOPSIS
       lsinitrd [OPTION...] [<image> [<filename> [<filename> [...] ]]]

       lsinitrd [OPTION...] -k <kernel version>

DESCRIPTION
       lsinitrd shows the contents of an initramfs image. if <image> is
       omitted, then lsinitrd uses the default image
       /efi/<machine-id>/<kernel-version>/initrd,
       /boot/<machine-id>/<kernel-version>/initrd,
       /boot/efi/<machine-id>/<kernel-version>/initrd,
       /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/initrd or
       /boot/initramfs-<kernel-version>.img.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
           print a help message and exit.

       -s, --size
           sort the contents of the initramfs by size.

       -f, --file <filename>
           print the contents of <filename>.

       -k, --kver <kernel version>
           inspect the initramfs of <kernel version>.

       -m, --mod
           list dracut modules included of the initramfs image.

       --unpack
           unpack the initramfs to the current directory, instead of
           displaying the contents. If optional filenames are given, will only
           unpack specified files, else the whole image will be unpacked.
           Won't unpack anything from early cpio part.

       --unpackearly
           unpack the early microcode initramfs to the current directory,
           instead of displaying the contents. Same as --unpack, but only
           unpack files from early cpio part.

       -v, --verbose
           unpack verbosely
