FCAT(1) General Commands Manual FCAT(1) 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 Supress 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. LICENSE This software is distributed under the Common Public License.
