SYNOPSIS

9       tsk_recover [-vVae] [ -f fstype ] [ -i imgtype ] [ -b dev_sector_size ]

DESCRIPTION

13       tsk_recover recovers files  to  the  output_dir  from  the  image.   By
14       default recovers only unallocated files. With flags, it will export all
15       files.
16
17       The arguments are as follows:
18
19       -v     verbose output to stderr
20
21       -V     Print version
22
23       -a     Recover allocated files only
24
25       -e     Recover all files (allocated and unallocated)
26
27       -f fstype
28              Specify the file system type.  Use '-f list' to  list  the  sup‐
29              ported  file  system types.  If not given, autodetection methods
30              are used.
31
32       -i imgtype
33              The format of the image file, such as raw.   Use  '-i  list'  to
34              list  the  supported types.  If not given, autodetection methods
35              are used.
36
37       -b dev_sector_size
38              The size (in bytes)  of  the  device  sectors.   If  not  given,
39              autodetection methods are used.
40
41       -o sector_offset
42              Sector  offset  for a volume to recover (recovers only that vol‐
43              ume) If not given, will attempt to recover all volumes in  image
44              and save them to different folders.
45
46       -d dir_inum
47              Directory  inum  to  recover  from (must also specify a specific
48              partition using -o or there must not be a volume system)
49
50       image [images]
51              The disk or partition image to read, whose format is given  with
52              '-i'.   Multiple  image  file names can be given if the image is
53              split into multiple segments.  If only one image file is  given,
54              and  its  name is the first in a sequence (e.g., as indicated by
55              ending in '.001'), subsequent image segments  will  be  included
56              automatically.
57
58       output_dir
59              The directory in which to save recovered files.
