DESCRIPTION

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 spe-
cial 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 -
