NAME

       jcat - Show the contents of a block in the file system journal.

SYNOPSIS

       jcat  [-f fstype ] [-vV] [-i imgtype] [-o imgoffset] [-b dev_sector_size] image [images] ]
       [ inode ] jblk

DESCRIPTION

       jcat shows the contents of a journal block in the file system journal.  The inode  address
       of  the  journal  can  be given or the default location will be used.  Note that the block
       address is a journal block address and not a file system block.  The raw output  is  given
       to STDOUT.

ARGUMENTS

       -f fstype
              Specify  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.

       -V     Display version

       -v     verbose output

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

       [inode]
              The inode where the file system journal can be found.

       jblk   The journal block to display.

       jcat -f linux-ext3 img.dd 34 | xxd
