NAME
     fcat - Output the contents of a file based on its name.

SYNOPSIS
     fcat  [-hRsvV]  [-f  fstype  ]  [-i  imgtype ] [-o imgoffset ] [-b dev_sec-
     tor_size] path_of_file image [images]

DESCRIPTION
     fcat opens the named image(s) and copies the file at the path  path_of_file
     to standard output.

ARGUMENTS
     -f fstype
	    Specifies the file system type.  Use '-f list' to list the supported
	    file system types.	If not given, autodetection methods are used.

     -h     Skip  over	holes in sparse files, so that absolute address informa-
	    tion is lost. This option saves space when copying sparse files.

     -R     Supress errors if a deleted file is being recovered.

     -s     Include the slack space in the output.

     -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     Enable verbose mode, 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.

     path_of_file
	    Path of file to extract the  contents  of.	 Surround  the	path  in
	    quotes if there is a space in a file or directory name.  Use forward
	    slashes.
