NAME

flashrd - read files generated by mkhfflash


SYNOPSIS

flashrd [-x] file


ARGUMENTS

-x
Extract the contents of the file.


DESCRIPTION

flashrd reads a file previously generated with mkhfflash (see the mkhfflash manpage) and reports the contents. With the option -x the contents are extracted.

Note that when extracting boot files, flashrd constructs an a.out header (mkhfflash does not store the a.out header in the file) which assumes that everything is in the .text section. If parts of the image are located in the .data or .bss sections (as is usually the case for the PP boot image) then this a.out header will be incorrect.
