icat - Output the contents of a file based on its inode number.
icat
[-hrsvV] [-f fstype ] [-i imgtype ] [-o imgoffset ] [-b dev_sector_size] image
[images] inode
icat opens the named image(s) and copies the
file with the specified inode number to standard output.
- -f fstype
- Specifies
the file system type. Use ’-f list’ to list the supported file system types.
If not given, autodetection methods are used.
- -h
- Skip over holes in sparse
files, so that absolute address information is lost. This option saves space
when copying sparse files.
- -r
- Use file recovery techniques if the file is
deleted.
- -s
- Include the slack space in the output.
- -i imgtype
- Identify the
type of image file, such as raw. Use ’-i list’ to list the supported types.
If not given, autodetection methods are used.
- -o imgoffset
- The sector offset
where the file system starts in the image.
- -b dev_sector_size
- The size,
in bytes, of the underlying device sectors. If not given, the value in
the image format is used (if it exists) or 512-bytes is assumed.
- -v
- Enable
verbose mode, output to stderr.
- -V
- Display version
- image [images]
- The disk
or partition image to read, whose format is given with ’-i’. Multiple image
file names can be given if the image is split into multiple segments. If
only one image file is given, and its name is the first in a sequence (e.g.,
as indicated by ending in ’.001’), subsequent image segments will be included
automatically.
- inode
- Inode number. icat concatenates the contents of all specified
files.
