nobodd.mbr

Defines the data structures used by the Master Boot Record (MBR) partitioning style. You should never need these directly; use the nobodd.disk.DiskImage class instead.

Data Structures

class nobodd.mbr.MBRHeader(zero, physical_drive, seconds, minutes, hours, disk_sig, copy_protect, partition_1, partition_2, partition_3, partition_4, boot_sig)[source]

A namedtuple() representing the fields of the MBR header.

classmethod from_buffer(buf, offset=0)[source]

Construct a MBRHeader from the specified offset (which defaults to 0) in the buffer protocol object, buf.

classmethod from_bytes(s)[source]

Construct a MBRHeader from the byte-string s.

property partitions

Returns a sequence of the partitions defined by the header. This is always 4 elements long, and not all elements are guaranteed to be valid, or in order on the disk.

class nobodd.mbr.MBRPartition(status, first_chs, part_type, last_chs, first_lba, part_size)[source]

A namedtuple() representing the fields of an MBR partition entry.

classmethod from_buffer(buf, offset=0)[source]

Construct a MBRPartition from the specified offset (which defaults to 0) in the buffer protocol object, buf.

classmethod from_bytes(s)[source]

Construct a MBRPartition from the byte-string s.
