LSINITRAMFS(8)                          System Administration                         LSINITRAMFS(8)



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