VHDX Inspector reads the header and metadata tables of a VHDX file and dumps the details to the console. The text is generally readable but should be read with consultation to Microsoft's published VHDX specification at [MS-VHDX]: Virtual Hard Disk v2 (VHDX) File Format. This program understands version 7.0 of the specification.

Download the code either by pulling with Git or by downloading from Github as a zip and extracting.

In a terminal, change to the source location (the directory where 'Cargo.toml' is) and run:

cargo build --release

The output will be created in ./target/release.

vhdx_inspector [args] <file name>

Print this help message and exit immediately.

If the VHDX file is a differencing disk, print the parent disk's information and so on up the chain.
