NAME

       ffind - Finds the name of the file or directory using a given inode

SYNOPSIS

       ffind   [-aduvV]   [-f   fstype]   [-i   imgtype]  [-o  imgoffset]  [-b
       dev_sector_size] image inode

DESCRIPTION

       ffind finds the names of files or directories  that  are  allocated  to
       inode  on  disk  image  image.  By default it only will only return the
       first name it finds.  With some file systems, this  will  find  deleted
       file names.

ARGUMENTS

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

       inode  Integer of inode to find.

              The optional arguments are:

       -a     Find all occurrences of inode.

       -d     Find deleted entries only.

       -f fstype
              Identify the file system type of the image.  Use  ’-f  list’  to
              list   the   supported   file   system  types.   If  not  given,
              autodetection methods are used.

       -u     Find undeleted entries only.

       -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.

       -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     Verbose output to stderr.

       -V     Display version.

       This program searches all  directory  entries  looking  for  the  given
       inode.   This  is  useful when an inode has been identified from a disk
       unit address using ifind(1).

EXAMPLE

       # ffind -a image 212
