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
(uncompressed) initramfs with system firmware is prepended to the regular compressed
initramfs.
