NAME
ifind - Find the meta-data structure that has allocated a given disk
unit or file name.
SYNOPSIS
ifind [-avVl] [-f fstype] [-d data_unit] [-n file] [-p par_inode] [-z
ZONE] [-i imgtype] [-o imgoffset] [-b dev_sector_size] 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.
ARGUMENTS
There are several required and optional arguments. The image file
names must be specified each time:
image [images]
One (or more if split) disk or partition images whose format is
given with ’-i’..PP
You must also specify what you are looking for and include one
of the following:
-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’.
There are also several optional arguments:
-a Find all meta-data structures (only works when looking with a
data_unit).
-f fstype
Specify the file system type. Use ’-f list’ to list the
supported file system types. If not given, autodetection
methods are 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. 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.
-z ZONE
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
