composefs-info(1)

NAME
composefs-info - print information about a composefs image

SYNOPSIS
composefs-info [ls|objects|missing-objects|dump] IMAGE [IMAGE2 IMAGE3 ...]

DESCRIPTION
The composefs-info command lets you inspect a composefs image. It has several sub-commands:

ls  Prints a simple list of the files and directorie in the images as well as their backing file or symlink target.

objects
    Prints a list of all the backing files referenced by the images, in sorted order.

missing-objects
    Prints a list of all the missing backing files referenced by the images, in sorted order, given a backing file store passed in using the --basedir option.

dump
    Prints a full dump of the images in a line based textual format. See composefs-dump(5) for more details. This format is also accepted as input to mkcomposefs if the --from-file option is used.

measure-file
    Interpret the provided paths as generic files, and print their fsverity digest.

OPTIONS
The provided IMAGE argument must be a composefs file. Multiple images can be specified.

compoosefs-info accepts the following options:

--basedir=PATH
    This should point to a directory of backing files, and will be used by the missing-objects command to know what files are available.

--filter=NAME
    Only print entries whose name matches one of these. Can be specified multiple times. Cannot be a full path (e.g. cannot contain /). This is intended to be used for tooling to efficiently lookup metadata files embedded in the image without loading and printing the entire image.
