man ifind (Commandes) - Find the meta-data structure that has allocated a given disk unit.

NAME

ifind - Find the meta-data structure that has allocated a given disk unit.

SYNOPSIS

ifind [-avVl] [-f fstype] [-d data_unit] [-n file] [-p par_inode] [-z ZONE] [-i imgtype] [-o imgoffset] image [images]

DESCRIPTION

ifind finds the meta-data structure that has data_unit allocated a data unit or has a given file name. In some cases any of the structures can be unallocated and this will still find the results.

The arguments are as follows:

image [images]
One (or more if split) disk or partition images whose format is given with '-i'..PP

One of the following must be given:

-d data_unit
Finds the meta data structure that has allocated a given data unit (block, cluster, etc.)
-n file
Finds the meta data structure that is pointed to by the given file name.
-p par_inode
Finds the unallocated MFT entries in an NTFS image that have the given inode as the parent. Can be used with '-l and -z'.

The optional arguments are:

-a
Find all meta-data structures (only works when looking with a data_unit).
-f fstype
Specify the file system type. Use the -? argument for list of supported types. If not given, the default type for the platform is used.
-l
List the details of each file found with '-p', like 'fls -l'.
-i imgtype
Identify the type of image file, such as raw or split. Raw is the default.
-o imgoffset
The sector offset where the file system starts in the image. Non-512 byte sectors can be specified using '@' (32@2048).
-v
Verbose output to stderr.
-V
Display version.
-z
If '-p -l' were given, this will set the timezone for the correct times.

EXAMPLES

# ifind -f fat -d 456 fat-img.dd

# ifind -f linux-ext2 -n "/etc/" linux-img.dd

# ifind -f ntfs -p 5 -l -z EST5EDT ntfs-img.dd
