The command "kpartx -l ${whole_disk-img}" is used to list the partitions within a disk image file. Here is a breakdown of the command:

• "kpartx" is a command-line utility in Linux used to manage partition mappings. It creates device maps from partition tables, which can be used to access the individual partitions within a disk image.
• "-l" is an option for the "kpartx" command, which instructs it to list the available partition mappings.
• "${whole_disk-img}" is a placeholder for the file path of the whole disk image file. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual path and name of your disk image file you want to analyze.

By running this command, the utility will analyze the provided disk image file and display a list of the partitions within it, including their start and end sectors, sizes, and names.
