NAME

       blkls - List or output file system data units.

SYNOPSIS

       blkls  [-aAelsvV]  [-f fstype ] [-i imgtype ] [-o imgoffset ] [-b dev_sector_size] image [images] [start-
       stop]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

ARGUMENTS

       -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.

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