NAME
       exfat2img - dump metadata of an exFAT filesystem

SYNOPSIS
       exfat2img [ -o path] [ -V ] device
       exfat2img -V

DESCRIPTION
       exfat2img  dump metadata of exFAT filesystems for debugging. exfat2img dump boot sector, File Allcation Table, Bitmap
       and all metadata which can reach from root directory.

OPTIONS
       -o --output
	      Specify output result file. If filesystem to which output file is written does not support  sparse  file,	 you
	      should  use  '-'	in  place  of  path.   Because a dump image generated from stdout has a special format, when
	      restoring a partition from it, exfat2img should be used. See Examples.

       -V     Prints the version number and exits.

EXAMPLES
       Dump metadata into a sparse file.
       $ exfat2img -o sda1.dump /dev/sda1

       Dump metadata into standard out and restore a partition
       $ exfat2img -o - /dev/sda1 | bzip2 > sda1.dump.bz2
       $ bzip2 -dc sda1.dump.bz2 | exfat2img -o /dev/sdb1 -
