NAME

       ifind - Find the meta-data structure that has allocated a given disk unit or file name.

SYNOPSIS

       ifind [-avVl] [-f fstype] [-d data_unit] [-n file] [-p par_inode] [-z ZONE] [-i imgtype] [-o imgoffset] [-b dev_sector_size] image [images]

DESCRIPTION

       ifind 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]
	      One (or more if split) disk or partition images whose format is given with '-i'..PP

	      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 supported 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 or split.  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 correct 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
