NAME
ewfexport - exports media data stored in EWF files
SYNOPSIS
ewfexport [-A codepage] [-B amount_of_bytes] [-c compression_type]
[-d digest_type] [-f format] [-l log_filename] [-o offset]
[-p process_buffer_size] [-S segment_file_size] [-t target]
[-hqsuvVw] ewf_files
DESCRIPTION
ewfexport is a utility to export media data stored in EWF files.
ewfexport is part of the libewf package. libewf is a library to support
the Expert Witness Compression Format (EWF). libewf supports both the
SMART format (EWF-S01) and the EnCase format (EWF-E01). libewf currently
does not support the Logical Volume format (EWF-L01). EWF-X is an
expirimental format intended for testing purposes to enhance the EWF
format. libewf allows you to read and write media data in the EWF
format.
ewf_files the first or the entire set of EWF segment files
The options are as follows:
-A codepage
the codepage of header section, options: ascii (default),
windows-874, windows-1250, windows-1251, windows-1252,
windows-1253, windows-1254, windows-1255, windows-1256,
windows-1257, windows-1258
-B amount_of_bytes
the amount of bytes to export
-c compression_type
the compression type, options: none (default), empty-block, fast,
best (not used for raw format)
-d digest_type
calculate additional digest (hash) types besides md5, options:
sha1 (not used for raw format)
-f format
the file format to write to, options: raw (default), ewf, smart,
ftk, encase1, encase2, encase3, encase4, encase5, encase6,
linen5, linen6, ewfx.
-h shows this help
-l log_filename
logs export errors and the digest (hash) to the log filename
-o offset
the offset to start the export (default is 0)
-p process_buffer_size
the process buffer size (default is the chunk size)
-s swap byte pairs of the media data (from AB to BA) (use this for
big to little endian conversion and vice versa)
-S segment_file_size
the segment file size in bytes (default is 1.4 GiB) (minimum is
1.0 MiB, maximum is 7.9 EiB for encase6 format and 1.9 GiB for
other formats) (not used for raw format)
-t target
the target file to export to, use - for stdout (default is
export) stdout is only supported for the raw format
-u unattended mode (disables user interaction)
-v verbose output to stderr
-V print version
-w wipe sectors on CRC error (mimic EnCase like behavior)
ENVIRONMENT
None
FILES
None
EXAMPLES
ewfexport will ask the information it needs.

DIAGNOSTICS
Errors, verbose and debug output are printed to stderr when verbose
output -v is enabled. Verbose and debug output are only printed when
enabled at compilation.
