IMLS
-------------

imls is an implementation of a Linux command line tool to access
to raw flash partitions and list images made with mkimage command.

For building against older versions of the MTD headers (meaning before
v2.6.8-rc1) it is required to pass the argument "MTD_VERSION=old" to
make.

Usage examples
--------------

1) Flash with sectors of 128KiB and 32 sectors:

> imls -c 32 -s 131072 /dev/mtd0
Searching...

2) Flash with sectors of 64KiB and 128 sectors and with a search offset of one
