NAME

       fcat - Output the contents of a file based on its name.

SYNOPSIS

        fcat [-hRsvV] [-f fstype] [-i imgtype] [-o imgoffset] [-b dev_sector_size] path_of_file image [images]

DESCRIPTION

       fcat opens the named image(s) and copies the file at the path path_of_file to standard output.

ARGUMENTS

       -f fstype
              Specifies  the  file  system  type.  Use -f 'list' to list the supported file system types. If not
              given, autodetection methods are used.

       -h     Skip over holes in sparse files, so that absolute address information is lost. This  option  saves
              space when copying sparse files.

       -R     Suppress errors if a deleted file is being recovered.

       -s     Include the slack space in the output.

       -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     Enable 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.

       path_of_file
              Path of file to extract the contents of. Surround the path in quotes if there is a space in a file
              or directory name. Use forward slashes.
