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 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

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 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 with zero status change time. Presumably, these inodes were never used.

-Z

List only inodes with non-zero status change time. Presumably, these belong to files that still exist, or that existed in the past.

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.
