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 or split.  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]
              One (or more if split) disk or partition images whose format is given with '-i'.

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