dcalc is used to map between the output of [[Dls]] and the original file system blocks. dls can be used to extract the  unallocated blocks from a file system.  Once data is found in the unallocated data though, you may want to know where the data was in the original file system.  dcalc is used for that.

===Purpose===
+
Creates a disk unit number mapping between two images, one normal and another that only contains the unallocated units of the first (the default behavior of the dls(1) program). One of the -d, -s, or -u value is the disk unit address in the regular image (i.e. from dd(1) ).  If the unit is unallocated, its address in an unallocated image is given. If the -u option is given, then the unit_addr value is the disk unit address in the unallocated unit image (i.e. from dls(1) ). Its disk unit address in the original image is determined. If the -s option is given, then the unit_addr value is the disk unit address in the slack image (i.e. from dls -s). The image is the full, original image (i.e. from dd(1)).

dcalc is used to map between the output of Dls and the original file system blocks. dls can be used to extract the unallocated blocks from a file system. Once data is found in the unallocated data though, you may want to know where the data was in the original file system. dcalc is used for that.
