## 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     


### -l     


## 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.
