disk4n6 decodes forensic disk images (E01, VMDK, VHDX, VHD, QCOW2, DMG, raw dd, ISO),
auto-detects MBR/GPT/APM partitioning, and routes ISO 9660 to filesystem analysis.
Run it with no arguments to enumerate the host's physical disks and partitions
across macOS, Linux, and Windows with a proportional partition-layout view and
acquisition-integrity findings.
