fcat - Output the contents of a file based on its name.
fcat
[-hRsvV] [-f fstype ] [-i imgtype ] [-o imgoffset ] [-b dev_sector_size] path_of_file
image [images]
fcat opens the named image(s) and copies the
file at the path path_of_file 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
- Supress errors if a deleted file is being recovered.
- -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.
- path_of_file
- Path
of file to extract the contents of. Surround the path in quotes if there
is a space in a file or directory name. Use forward slashes.
