mbdump - Summary
This group is not part of the GNU Project.
mbdump is a small utility to dump information in a multiboot or multiboot2 header in a nice human readable format. Multiboot and Multiboot 2 are (incompatible) standards that dictate the way a compliant bootloader (grub and grub2 being the most common examples) can start a compliant os.
Give the program an os image as an argument and it will print the information it finds. Note that kernel images are sometimes compressed; you have to decompress them to let this program read them. Also note that the Linux kernel is not Multiboot compliant.
This is the first Multiboot specification

and this is the second
