IFIND(1)IFIND(1)NAMEifind - Find the meta-data structure that has allocated a given disk
unit or file name.
SYNOPSISifind [-avVl] [-f fstype] [-d data_unit] [-n file] [-p par_inode] [-z
ZONE] [-i imgtype] [-o imgoffset] [-b dev_sector_size] image [images]
DESCRIPTIONifind 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]
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.
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 sup‐
ported 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. 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 cor‐
rect 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
