ILS(1)

NAME
ils - List inode information

SYNOPSIS
ils [-emOpvV] [-f fstype ] [-s seconds ] [-i imgtype ] [-o imgoffset ] [-b dev_sector_size] image [images] [start-stop] ils [-aAlLvVzZ] [-f fstype ] [-s seconds ] [-i imgtype ] [-o imgoffset ] image [images] [start-stop]

DESCRIPTION
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.
