try on your machine
The command "mmls" is used to analyze and display the partition layout of a disk image file. Here is the explanation of each part of the command you provided:
- "mmls": This is the command itself. It stands for "media management/multimedia command line system" and is usually included in forensic analysis tools.
- "-t ${nested_table_type}": This option specifies the type of partition table to be used when analyzing the disk image file. The "${nested_table_type}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with an actual value, such as "dos" for a DOS partition table or "gpt" for a GUID partition table.
- "-o ${offset}": This option sets the starting offset for analyzing the disk image. The "${offset}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the numerical value of the offset in bytes from the beginning of the disk image file.
- "${path-to-image_file}": This is the path to the disk image file that you want to analyze. Replace "${path-to-image_file}" with the actual path to your image file.
Put together, the command "mmls -t ${nested_table_type} -o ${offset} ${path-to-image_file}" uses the "mmls" command to analyze the partition layout of a specific disk image file, with options to specify the partition table type and starting offset.
