LSINITRAMFS(8)                      System Administration                     LSINITRAMFS(8)

NAME
       lsinitramfs - list content of an initramfs image

SYNOPSIS
       lsinitramfs [-l] initramfs-file...
       lsinitramfs -h

DESCRIPTION
       The lsinitramfs command lists the content of given initramfs images. It allows one to
       quickly check the content of one (or multiple) specified initramfs files.

OPTIONS
       -h     Display usage information and exit.

       -l     Display long and more verbose listing of initramfs content.

USAGE EXAMPLES
       List initramfs content of current running kernel:

       lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r)

       List content of two initramfs files in verbose mode:

       lsinitramfs -l /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-grml64 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33-grml64

BUGS
       lsinitramfs cannot deal with multiple-segmented initramfs  images,  except  where  an
       early  (uncompressed) initramfs with system firmware is prepended to the regular com‐
       pressed initramfs.
