blkls - List or output file system data units.
blkls [-aAelsvV] [-f fstype ] [-i imgtype ]
[-o imgoffset ] [-b dev_sector_size] image [images]
[start-stop]
blkls opens the named
image(s) and copies file system data units
(blocks). By default,
blkls copies the contents of unallocated data
blocks.
blkls was called
dls in TSK versions prior to 3.0.0.
blkls was called
unrm in TCT.
- -e
- Copy every block, including file system metadata blocks.
The output is the entire file system.
- -a
- Display all allocated blocks (same as -e if -A is also
given).
- -A
- Display all unallocated blocks (same as -e if -a is also
given). This is the default behavior.
- -f fstype
- Specifies the file system type. Use '-f list' to list the
supported file system types. If not given, autodetection methods are
used.
- -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.
- -l
- List the data information in time machine format.
- -s
- Copy only the slack space of the image.
- -v
- Turn on 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.
- start-stop ...
- Examine the specified block number or number range.
