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.
