NAME
       lsinitramfs - list content of an initramfs image

SYNOPSIS
       lsinitramfs [options] <initramfsfile> [<initramfsfile>]

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, such
       as those created when an early  (uncompressed)  initramfs  with	system
       firmware is prepended to the regular compressed initrams, or when over‐
       lay data is appended to the initramfs.

AUTHOR
       The initramfs-tools are written by Maximilian Attems  <maks@debian.org>
       and numerous others.
