NAME

fcat - Output the contents of a file based on its name.

SYNOPSIS

fcat [ -hRsvV ] [ -f fstype ] [ -i imgtype ] [ -o imgoffset ] [ -b dev_sector_size ] path_of_file image [ images ]

DESCRIPTION

fcat opens the named image (s) and copies the file at the path path_of_file to standard output.

ARGUMENTS

-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		Suppress errors if a deleted file is being recovered.
	-s		Include the slack space in the output.

-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.

	-v		Enable 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.

path_of_file

Path of file to extract the contents of. Surround the path in quotes if there is a space in a file or directory name. Use forward slashes.
