Benno Rice 158d2fcd75 Add the etdump utility for dumping El Torito boot catalog information.
This can be used to check existing images but will be used in the future to
find EFI ESP images placed in El Torito catalogs so they can be used for
hybrid boot purposes.

.Sh NAME
.Nm etdump
.Nd Dump El Torito boot catalog information from ISO images
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl f Ar format
.Op Fl o Ar file
.Ar
.Sh DESCRIPTION
This program reads El Torito boot catalog information from an ISO image and
outputs it in various formats.
It can be used to check the catalog in an image or to output catalog data in
a format that can be used by other tools such as shell scripts.
.Pp
Supported options are:
.Bl -tag -width flag
.It Fl f Ar format Fl -format Ar format
Select the output format.
Supported output formats are:
.Bl -tag -width shell -offset indent
.It Sy text
Human-readable text (default)
.It Sy shell
Each boot entry is emitted as a string suitable for passing to a sh-compatible
eval command.
The variables emitted are:
.Bl -tag -width et_platform -offset indent
.It et_platform
The platform ID from the section header.
Set to 'default' for the initial (default) entry.
.It et_system
The system ID from the boot entry.
.It et_lba
The starting LBA (2048-byte blocks) of the boot image.
.It et_sectors
The number of sectors (512-byte sectors) that comprise the boot image.
.El
.El
.It Fl o Ar file Fl -output Ar file
Write output to
.Ar file .
If '-' is specified then standard out is used.
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
To see what entries are in a given boot catalog run
.Nm
passing the filename of the image as an argument like so:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
% etdump bootonly.iso
Image in bootonly.iso
Default entry
System i386
Start LBA 420 (0x1a4), sector count 4 (0x4)
Media type: no emulation
Section header: efi, final
Section entry
System i386
Start LBA 20 (0x14), sector count 1600 (0x640)
Media type: no emulation
.Ed
.Pp
To use the output in a shell script a for loop can be used to iterate over the
entries returned using eval:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
for entry in `etdump --format shell bootonly.iso`; do
eval $entry
echo $et_platform $et_system $et_lba $et_sectors
done
.Ed
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
utility first appeared in
.Fx 12.0 .
