===Purpose===
 
Display  the  layout  of  media  management systems (partition tables)
 
mmls displays the layout of the media management systems, which include partition tables and disk labels.
 
<br />Namely, it will show which sectors are not being used so that those can be searched for hidden data.  It also gives the length value so that it can be plugged into ’dd’ more easily for extracting the partitions.  It also will show BSD disk labels for Free, Open, and NetBSD and will dis-play the output in sectors and not cylinders.  Lastly, it works on non-Linux systems.
 
  
===Usage===
+
mmls displays the contents of a volume system (media management).  In general, this is used to list the partition table contents so that you can determine where each partition starts.
mmls [-t mmtype ] [-o offset ] [ -i imgtype ] [-brvV] image [images]

!Purpose

|-
+
| -t mmtype || Specify  the  media management type.  Use the -? option for supported types.
+
|-
+
| -o offset || Specify the offset into the image where  the  volume  containing the  partition system starts.  The relative offset of the partition system will be added to this value.
+
|-
+
| -i imgtype || Identify the type of image file, such as raw or split.  Raw  is the default.
+
|-
+
| -b || Include a column with the partition sizes in bytes
+
|-
+
| -r || Recurse into DOS partitions and look for other partition tables.  This setup frequently occurs when Unix is installed on x86  systems.
+
|-
+
| -v || Verbose output of debugging statements to stderr
+
|-
+
| -V || Display version
+
|-
+
| image [images] ||  One  (or  more  if split) disk images whose format is given with ’-i’.
+
|}
+
 
+
===Example===
+
To list the partition table of a Windows system using autodetect:
+
# mmls disk_image.dd
+
 
+
To  list  the contents of a BSD system that starts in sector 12345 of a split image:
+
# mmls -t bsd -o 12345 -i split disk-1.dd disk-2.dd
