NAME

initrdfs — view initialization ramdisk

SYNOPSIS

initrdfs

initrd cat path ...

initrdfs

initrd extract [-C destination] path ...

initrdfs

initrd ls [-a] path ...

DESCRIPTION

initrdfs opens a initrd(7) made with mkinitrd(8) and lets you view the stored directories and files. The options are as follows:

-a

(ls) Include directory entries whose names begin with a dot (‘.’).

-C destination

(extract) Extract to the specified destination rather than the default current directory.

initrdfs supports these commands:

cat

Show the contents of each path.

extract

Extract each path recursively to the current directory.

ls

List each directory path.

EXIT STATUS

initrdfs will exit 0 on success and non-zero otherwise.

SEE ALSO

initrd(7), mkinitrd(8)

BUGS

initrdfs is feature limited and doesn't let you view all the contained meta information. It's also not a filesystem driver.
