💿 dumpet(1) — dumpet

okay bestie, buckle UP because we're about to talk about dumpet, a whole entire tool for debugging El Torito boot images 💖 no cap, this is the manual page for dumpet(1) and she is niche but she is iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dumpet --iso image [--dumpdisks] [--dumphex|--xml]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. short, sweet, slay 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

dumpet is a tool for debugging El Torito boot images. that's literally her whole job, she wakes up, she debugs boot images, she goes to bed. main character energy fr fr 🫶

The following options are available:

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -?, --help — Display help information. she tells you what she does, she's a communicator 💖
• -i, --iso image — The file name of the input ISO image. this is the ISO you're pointing her at, the image placeholder is where your file name goes, don't be shy 🌸
• -d, --dumpdisks — Dump each El Torito boot image into a file. listen closely because there's a fork in the road here: if --xml is not given, the files will be named image.1, image.2, etc. in sequence. Otherwise, BootImage tags will be added to the output XML document with the content of each boot image in hexadecimal. so like, either she hands you files, or she hands you XML with the hex content baked in. two paths, one icon ✨
• -h, --dumphex — Dump each El Torito structure in hexadecimal. ⚠️ heads up bestie: this option has no effect if --xml is given. so don't fight it, she already told you 💀
• -x, --xml — Dump the El Torito structure to standard output as an XML document. straight to stdout, no notes, no file, just vibes and angle brackets 🔥
