💖 DUMPEXFAT(8) — the dumpexfat page 💖

bestie, welcome to the dumpexfat(8) manual from the System Manager's Manual — she's here to dump exFAT details, low-level info included, and every size she prints is in bytes. no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

dumpexfat — dump exFAT file system 💾

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dumpexfat [ -s ] [ -u ] [ -f file ] [ -V ] device

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so dumpexfat dumps details about an exFAT file system, including low-level info. All sizes are in bytes, periodt. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

command line options available, bestie:

• -s — dump only info from the super block. May be useful for heavily corrupted file systems. lowkey a rescue-vibe option 🫶
• -u — dump ranges of used sectors starting from 0 and separated with spaces. May be useful for backup tools. very "hand me the map" energy 🗺️
• -f file — print out a list of fragments that compose the given file. Each fragment is printed on its own line, as the start offset (in bytes) into the file system, and the length (in bytes). literal fragment lore 💅
• -V — print version and copyright. the classic "who are you and what's your legal vibe" flag 👑

💀 EXIT CODES 💀

Zero is returned on success. Any other code means an error. that's the whole vibe check, fr fr. 😭
