💖 NAME

affcopy - reorder and recompress AFF files

🧚 SYNOPSIS

affcopy [options] file1 file
affcopy [options] file1 file2 file3 ... dir
affcopy [options] file1 file2 file3 ... dir1 dir2...

✨ DESCRIPTION

okay so affcopy copies one AFF file over to another one. The result comes out re-ordered and, maybe, re-compressed 💅

This file is part of the AFFLIBv3, which is the library that provides AFF 🎀

AFF is an open and extensible file format for storing disk images and their associated metadata 💜 It's super useful in a bunch of scenarios, like computer forensics investigations. Literally iconic 🔥

👑 OPTIONS

🎀 General options

• -d — Prints debugging information too 🐛
• -h — Help! Prints this message 🙈
• -L — Recompresses pages (aka preen) with LZMA. The files come out smaller, but it takes longer 🐢
• -m — Only copies the missing segments 🧩
• -V — Prints the program version and then exits 🏷️
• -v — Verbose mode! Prints each file as it gets copied 📂
• -vv — Very verbose mode! Prints each segment as it gets copied 🔍
• -x — Doesn't verify hashes on reads 🙅‍♀️
• -Xn — Recompresses pages (preen) with zlib level n 🌈
• -y — Doesn't verify writes 🫠
• -z — ZAP (delete)! Copies even if the destination already exists ⚠️

🔑 Signature Options

• -k <filename.key> — Specifies the private key used for signing 🗝️
• -c <filename.cer> — Specifies an X.509 certificate that matches the private key. By default, the file is assumed to be the same one you gave with the -k option 📜
• -n — Reads notes to go along with the copy from standard in 📝

🔐 Encryption Options

You can set a passphrase encryption for filename.aff like this:

file://:passphrase@/filename.aff

🍓 EXAMPLES

Copy file1 to file2:

$ affcopy file1 file

Copy all files to dir:

$ affcopy file1 file2 file3 dir

Copy file1 to dir1, file2 to dir2 and file3 to dir3:

$ affcopy file1 file2 file3 dir1 dir2 dir3

Encrypt file.aff:

$ affcopy
       file.aff   file://:mypassword@/file-encrypted.aff
