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 sup-
	      ported file system types.	 If not	given,	autodetection  methods
	      are used.

       -h     Skip over	holes in sparse	files, so that absolute	address	infor-
	      mation  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.
