This procedure calls VixDiskLib_Read() to retrieve sectors and displays sector contents on the output in hexadecimal. The default is to dump only the first sector numbered zero, but you can change this with the -start and -count options. Here is a sequence of commands to demonstrate:
vix-disklib-sample -create sample.vmdk vix-disklib-sample -fill -val 1 sample.vmdk vix-disklib-sample -fill -val 2 -start 1 -count 1 sample.vmdk vix-disklib-sample -dump -start 0 -count 2 sample.vmdk od -c sample.vmdk
On Linux (or Cygwin) you can run the od command to show overhead and metadata at the beginning of file, and the repeated ones and twos in the first two sectors. The -dump option of the sample program shows only data, not overhead.
