Get a refreshed list

The list put in this page was created by a shell Bash command to show the basic function of the each TSK command.

The command used (in Debian) was:

eriberto@canopus~$ dpkg -L sleuthkit | grep /usr/bin/ | cut -d"/" -f4 | sort | xargs whatis -l | sed 's/^/*<strong>/; s/ (1)/<\/strong>/; s/$/./' | tr -s . | tr -s " "

You should use the above command to refresh the list.
