MMSTAT(1)

💖 MMSTAT(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to mmstat(1) — straight outta the General Commands Manual and she's here to spill all the tea about your volume system 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

mmstat — Display details about the volume system (partition tables). that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mmstat [-t mmtype ] [-o offset ] [ -i imgtype ] [-b dev_sector_size]
[-vV] image [images]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, mmstat shows you the general deets of a volume system — and when we say volume system we mean partition tables and disk labels, the whole lil ecosystem. Mainly?? It gives you the type. that's the main character info right there ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• -t mmtype — tell it the media management type, bestie. Wanna see your options? Hit '-t list' and she'll list every supported type for you 📋. Don't pass this flag at all and the autodetection methods just do their thing, no cap.
• -o offset — this one says where in the image the volume that contains the partition system starts. and here's the lil twist: the relative offset of the partition system gets added to this value. so it's a whole sum situation ➕
• -b dev_sector_size — the size, in bytes, of the underlying device sectors. leave it out and she uses the value in the image format (if it exists) — and if that doesn't exist either? 512-bytes is assumed, periodt.
• -i imgtype — identify the type of image file, like raw. Wanna see the roster? '-i list' lists all supported types 💖. not given = autodetection methods, as usual, she's got it.
• -v — Verbose output of debugging statements to stderr. loud and proud, we love a transparent queen 🔥
• -V — Display version. the classic.
• image [images] — the disk or partition image you're reading, whose format is given with '-i'. Multiple image file names can be given if the image is split into multiple segments 🧩. And get this: if only one image file is given, and its name is the first in a sequence (e.g., as indicated by ending in '.001'), subsequent image segments will be included automatically. she's thoughtful like that 🫶
