ifind is used to map between data units and meta data structures and between meta data structures and names. It takes either a data unit address or file name as input and will search for the meta data structure that is associated with it.

-NAME
+ifind is used to map between [[data units]] and meta data structures and between meta data structures and names.  It takes either a [[data unit]] address or file name as input and will search for the meta data structure that is associated with it.
-       ifind  -  Find  the meta-data structure that has allocated a given disk
-       unit.
-SYNOPSIS
+* [http://www.sleuthkit.org/sleuthkit/man/ifind.html Automatically Updated man Page]
-       ifind [-avVl] [-f fstype] [-d data_unit] [-n file] [-p  par_inode]  [-z
-       ZONE] [-i imgtype] [-o imgoffset] 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.
-       There  are  several  required  and  optional arguments.  The image file
-       names must be specified each time:
-       image [images]
-              One (or more if split) disk or partition images whose format  is
-              given with ’-i’..PP
-              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 the -? argument for  list  of
-              supported  types.   If not given, the default type for the plat-
-              form is 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 or split.   Raw  is
-              the default.
-       -o imgoffset
-              The  sector  offset  where  the file system starts in the image.
-              Non-512 byte sectors can be specified using ’@’ (32@2048).
-       -v     Verbose output to stderr.
-       -V     Display version.
-       -z     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
