Fetch El Torito

License version PR's Welcome

Perl script which will extract the initial/default boot image from a CD if existent. It'll not extract any of other possibly existing boot images that are allowed by the El Torito standard.

The image data are written to STDOUT. All other information is written to STDERR (Eg. Type and size of image).
If you want to write the image to a file instead of STDOUT, you can specify the filename wanted on the command-line using option -o <filename>.

Call: fetcheltorito CD-image > toritoimagefile
Example: fetcheltorito /dev/sr0 > /tmp/bootimage

Compatible with macOS, Linux based distros, and Windows.

Installation

Download latest release version.

The repo already comes with an executable and if that doesn't work, make the fetcheltorito.pl file an executable using sudo chmod +x fetcheltorito.pl in the command-line.
