blkls - List or output file system data units.
blkls [-aAelsvV] [-f fstype ] [-i
imgtype ] [-o imgoffset ] [-b
dev_sector_size] image [images] [start-stop]
blkls opens the named image(s) and copies file
system data units (blocks). By default, blkls copies the contents of
unallocated data blocks. blkls was called dls in TSK versions
prior to 3.0.0. blkls was called unrm in TCT.
- -e
- Copy every block, including file system metadata blocks. The output is the
entire file system.
- -a
- Display all allocated blocks (same as -e if -A is also given).
- -A
- Display all unallocated blocks (same as -e if -a is also given). This is
the default behavior.
- -f fstype
- Specifies the file system type. Use '-f list' to list the supported file
system types. If not given, autodetection methods are used.
- -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.
- -l
- List the data information in time machine format.
- -s
- Copy only the slack space of the image.
- -v
- Turn on 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.

...
- Examine the specified block number or number range.
