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
       following:

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

       -n file
	      Finds  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 sup-
	      ported 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 ZONE
	      If  '-p  -l' were	given, this will set the timezone for the cor-
	      rect 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
