This repository is archived. The tool has been completely reworked in the meantime and now has a different name - the reworked variant is now called zffanalyze and can be found at https://github.com/ph0llux/zffanalyze.
zffmetareader
is a command line utility to read the metadata of a zff image.
First, you need to install rust and cargo to build or install zffmetareader
.
After that you still need the gcc, which you can install as follows (depends on the distribution):
$ sudo apt-get install gcc
$ sudo dnf install gcc
Then you can easily build this tool yourself by using cargo:
[/home/ph0llux/projects/zffmetareader] $ cargo build --release
Or you can install the tool directly from crates.io:
$ cargo install zffmetareader
Use zffmetareader -i <YOUR_ZFF_IMAGE.z01>
to read the metadata of a zff file.
