Bases: dissect.target.container.Container

VMWare hard disks

__type__ = 'vmdk'

A short string identifying the type of container.

vmdk
static detect_path(path: pathlib.Path, original: list | BinaryIO) → bool

Detect if this Container can be used to open path.

The function checks wether file inside path is formatted in such a way that this Container can be used to read it. For example, it validates against the file extension.

Parameters:

  • path – A location to a file.

  • original – The original argument passed to detect().

Returns:

True if this Container can be used for this path, False otherwise.

read(length: int) → bytes

Read a length of bytes from this Container.

seek(offset: int, whence: int = io.SEEK_SET) → int

Change the stream position to offset.

whence determines where to seek from:

  • io.SEEK_SET (0):: absolute offset in the stream.

  • io.SEEK_CUR (1):: current position in the stream.

  • io.SEEK_END (2):: end of stream.

Parameters:

  • offset – The offset relative to the position indicated by whence.

  • whence – Where to start the seek from.

tell() → int

Returns the current seek position of the Container.

close() → None

Close the container.

Override this if you need to clean-up anything.
