ils opens the named image(s) and lists inode
information. By default, ils lists only the inodes of removed
files.
Arguments:
- -e
- List every inode in the file system.
- -f fstype
- Specifies the file system type. Use '-f list' to list the supported file
system types. If not given, autodetection methods are used.
- -s seconds
- The time skew of the original system in seconds. For example, if the
original system was 100 seconds slow, this value would be -100.
- -m
- Display the inode details in the format that the mactime program reads
(replaces the ils2mac script from TCT)
- -O
- List only inodes of removed files that are still open or executing. This
option is short-hand notation for -aL "(see the fine
controls section below). (this used to be -o).
- -p
- Display orphan inodes (unallocated with no file name)
- -r
- (default) List only inodes of removed files. This option is short-hand
notation for -LZ (see the fine controls section below).
- -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
- 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.
- start-stop
- Examine the specified inode number or number range.
Fine controls:
- -a
- List only allocated inodes: these belong to files with at least one
directory entry in the file system, and to removed files that are still
open or executing.
- -A
- List only unallocated inodes: these belong to files that no longer
exist.
- -l
- List only inodes with at least one hard link. These belong to files with
at least one directory entry in the file system.
- -L
- List only inodes without any hard links. These belong to files that no
longer exist, and to removed files that are still open or executing.
- -z
- List only inodes that were likely to have not been used.
- -Z
- List only inodes that were likely to be used.
The output format is in time machine format. The output begins
with a two-line header that describes the data origin, and is followed by a
one-line header that lists the names of the data attributes that make up the
remainder of the output:
- st_ino
- The inode number.
- st_alloc
- Allocation status: `a' for allocated inode, `f' for free inode.
- st_uid
- Owner user ID.
- st_gid
- Owner group ID.
- st_mtime
- UNIX time (seconds) of last file modification.
- st_atime
- UNIX time (seconds) of last file access.
- st_ctime
- UNIX time (seconds) of last inode status change.
- st_dtime
- UNIX time (seconds) of file deletion (LINUX only).
- st_mode
- File type and permissions (octal).
- st_nlink
- Number of hard links.
- st_size
- File size in bytes.
- st_block0,st_block1
- The first two entries in the direct block address list.
