NAME
       guymager - a forensic acquisition program

SYNOPSIS
       guymager [log=log_file] [cfg=configuration_file] [options]

DESCRIPTION
       Guymager  is a Qt-based forensic imager. It is capable of producing im-
       age files in EWF, AFF and dd format. Its main  strenghs  are  the  easy
       user  interface,  the  high  imaging speed and the extended acquisition
       info file.

       The internal structure is based on separate threads for  reading,  hash
       calculation  (MD5 and SHA256), writing and includes a parallelised com-
       pression engine, thus making full  usage  of  multi-processor  and  hy-
       per-threading machines.

       Guymager should be run with root privileges, as other users do not have
       access to physical devices normally.

OPTIONS
       log=log_file
              By default, guymager uses /var/log/guymager.log as its log file.
              This option allows for specifying a different file.

       cfg=configuration_file
              The  default  configuration  file is /etc/guymager/guymager.cfg.
              This option allows for specifying  a  different  file.  Guymager
              creates  a template configuration file when the option -cfg=tem-
              plate.cfg is given.

       All other configuration options may be specified on  the  command  line
       and/or  in the configuration file. See /etc/guymager/guymager.cfg for a
       description of all possible options. In case an option is specified  in
       the  configuration file and on the command line, the command line domi-
       nates.

EXIT CODES
       Guymager normally returns an exit code of 0. Exit code 1 means that
       Guymager terminated because the AutoExit function became active. All
       other exit codes are related to internal Guymager or Qt errors.

EXAMPLES
       Write all log entries to ./my.log:
              guymager log=my.log

       Create a template configuration file
              guymager cfg=template.cfg

       Read the configuration from my.cfg and use 4 threads for parallelised
       compression:
              guymager cfg=my.cfg CompressionThreads=4

       See /etc/guymager/guymager.cfg for details  about  option  Compression-
       Threads and all other options as well.
