GETELTORITO(1)

✨ GETELTORITO(1) ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual for geteltorito, and it lives in section 1 of the General Commands Manual 💅 it's a lil Perl script situation and honestly? it does exactly one thing and it slays at it.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

geteltorito — an El Torito boot image extractor 🎀

like… it extracts boot images. that's the whole vibe. iconic honestly.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

geteltorito <image|device> [-o outputfile]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so geteltorito is a Perl script, right? and what it does is it extracts the initial/default El Torito boot image from a CD if one exists 👑

ngl, it will not extract any of the other boot images that are allowed by the El Torito standard. just the first/default one. that's it. that's the girl. periodt.

the boot image file gets written to stdout, and all the other info (like, the image type and size and stuff 🌈) gets written to stderr. yes they're split, that's on purpose, iykyk.

now — if you want the image to go to a file instead of stdout? easy. just tell it the output filename using -o filename. 💖
