SYNOPSIStsk_recover [-vVae] [ -f fstype ] [ -i imgtype ] [ -b dev_sector_size ]
[ -o sector_offset ] [ -d dir_inum ] image [images] output_dir
DESCRIPTIONtsk_recover recovers files to the output_dir from the image. By
default recovers only unallocated files. With flags, it will export all
files.
The arguments are as follows:
-v verbose output to stderr
-V Print version
-a Recover allocated files only
-e Recover all files (allocated and unallocated)
-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.
-i imgtype
The format of the image file, such as raw. Use '-i list' to
list the supported types. If not given, autodetection methods
are used.
-b dev_sector_size
The size (in bytes) of the device sectors. If not given,
autodetection methods are used.
-o sector_offset
Sector offset for a volume to recover (recovers only that vol‐
ume) If not given, will attempt to recover all volumes in image
and save them to different folders.
-d dir_inum
Directory inum to recover from (must also specify a specific
partition using -o or there must not be a volume system)
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.
output_dir
The directory in which to save recovered files.
EXAMPLES

tory:
