NAME
     ifind  -  Find the meta-data structure that has allocated a given disk unit
     or file name.

SYNOPSIS
     ifind [-avVl] [-f fstype] [-d data_unit] [-n file] [-p par_inode] [-z ZONE]
     [-i imgtype] [-o imgoffset] [-b dev_sector_size] image [images]

DESCRIPTION
     ifind finds the meta-data structure that has  data_unit  allocated  a  data
     unit  or has a given file name.  In some cases any of the structures can be
     unallocated and this will still find the results.

ARGUMENTS
     There are several required and optional arguments.  The  image  file  names
     must be specified each time:

     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.

     You  must also specify what you are looking for and include one of the fol-
     lowing:

     -d data_unit
	    Finds the meta data structure that has allocated a given  data  unit
	    (block, cluster, etc.)

     -n fileFinds  the	meta data structure that is pointed to by the given file
	    name.

     -p par_inode
	    Finds the unallocated MFT entries in an NTFS  image  that  have  the
	    given inode as the parent.	Can be used with '-l and -z'.

     There are also several optional arguments:

     -a     Find  all  meta-data  structures  (only  works  when  looking with a
	    data_unit).

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

     -l     List the details of each file found with '-p', like 'fls -l'.

     -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.

     -z ZONEIf	'-p  -l'  were given, this will set the timezone for the correct
	    times.

EXAMPLES
     # ifind -f fat -d 456 fat-img.dd

     # ifind -f linux-ext2 -n "/etc/" linux-img.dd

     # ifind -f ntfs -p 5 -l -z EST5EDT ntfs-img.dd
