BLKCALC(1)		     General Commands Manual		      BLKCALC(1)

NAME
     blkcalc  -  Converts between unallocated disk unit numbers and regular disk
     unit numbers.

SYNOPSIS
     blkcalc [-dsu unit_addr] [-vV] [-i imgtype]  [-o  imgoffset]  [-b	dev_sec-
     tor_size] [-f fstype] image [images]

DESCRIPTION
     blkcalc  creates  a disk unit number mapping between two images, one normal
     and another that only contains the unallocated units of the first (the  de-
     fault  behavior of the blkls(1) program).	One of the -d, -s, or -u options
     must be given.  If the -d option is given, then the unit_addr value is  the
     disk unit address in the regular image (i.e. from dd ).  If the unit is un-
     allocated,  its address in an unallocated image is given.	If the -u option
     is given, then the unit_addr value is the disk unit address in the  unallo-
     cated  unit  image  (i.e.	 from  blkls(1) ).  Its disk unit address in the
     original image is	determined.   If  the  -s  option  is  given,  then  the
     unit_addr	value  is  the	disk  unit address in the slack image (i.e. from
     blkls -s).  The image is the full, original image (i.e. from dd).	 blkcalc
     was called dcalc in TSK versions prior to 3.0.0.

     -f fstype
	    Identify  the  File System type of the image.  Use '-f list' to list
	    the supported file system types.  If not given, autodetection  meth-
	    ods are used.

     -i imgtype
	    Identify the type of image file, such as raw.  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     Verbose output to STDERR.

     -V     Display version.

     image [images]
	    The  disk  or  partition  image  to read, whose format is given with
	    '-i'.  Multiple image file names can be given if the image is  split
	    into  multiple  segments.	If only one image file is given, and its
	    name is the first in a sequence (e.g., as  indicated  by  ending  in
	    '.001'), subsequent image segments will be included automatically.

     This  is  useful  when keyword searching an image generated by blkls.  This
     allows one to identify the original unit address and provides better  docu-
     mentation.

EXAMPLE
     # blkcalc -u 64 images/wd0e
