dls1

Usage

Overview

dls opens the named image(s) and copies data blocks (disk units). By default, dls copies unallocated data blocks (addressable disk units) only. dls was called unrm in TCT.

Arguments:

-b

With file systems that have logical blocks that consist of fragments, don't insert null-byte padding to preserve logical block alignment in the output. This option is a no-op with the LINUX ext2fs file system, where logical blocks and fragments have the same size.

-e

Copy every block. The output should be similar to dd(1).

-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 the -? argument for a list of all supported types. If not given, the default type for the platform is used.

-i imgtype

Identify the type of image file, such as raw or split. Raw is the default.

-o imgoffset

The sector offset where the file system starts in the image. Non-512 byte sectors can be specified using '@' (32@2048).

-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.
