FCAT(1) Output the contents of a file based on its name FCAT(1)NAMEfcat - Output the contents of a file based on its name.
SYNOPSISfcat [-hRsvV] [-f fstype] [-i imgtype] [-o imgoffset] [-b dev_sector_size] path_of_file image [images]
DESCRIPTIONfcat 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 sup‐
ported file system types. If not given, autodetection methods
are used.
-h Skip over holes in sparse files, so that absolute address infor‐
mation 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 for‐
ward slashes.
