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.
