Ubuntu Manpage: ils - List inode information

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.
