icat - Output the contents of a file based on its inode number.
icat
[-hrsvV] [-f fstype ] [-i imgtype ] [-o imgoffset ] 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 or split. 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. Non-512 byte sectors can
be specified using ’@’ (32@2048).
- -v
- Enable verbose mode, output to stderr.
- -V
- Display
version
- image [images]
- One (or more if split) disk or partition images whose
format is given with ’-i’.
- inode
- Inode number. icat concatenates the contents
of all specified files.
