NAME

      dls - disk data recovery

SYNOPSIS

      dls  [-aAbelsvV] [-f fstype] [-i imgtype] [-o imgoffset] image [images]
      [start-stop]

DESCRIPTION

      dls opens the named image(s) and copies data blocks (disk  units).   By
      default,  dls  copies  unallocated data blocks (addressable disk units)
      only.  dls was called unrm in TCT.

      Arguments:

      -b     With file systems that have logical blocks that consist of frag-
             ments,  don’t insert null-byte padding to preserve logical block
             alignment in the output.  This option is a no-op with the  LINUX
             ext2fs  file system, where logical blocks and fragments have the
             same size.

      -e     Copy every block. The output should be similar to dd(1).

      -a     Display all allocated blocks (same as -e if -A is also given).

      -A     Display all unallocated blocks (same as -e if -a is also given).
             This is the default behavior.

      -f fstype
             Specifies the file system type.   Use the -? argument for a list
             of all supported types.  If not given, the default type for  the
             platform is used.

      -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).

      -l     List the data information in time machine format.

      -s     Copy only the slack space of the image.

      -v     Turn on verbose mode, output to stderr.

      -V     Display version.

      image [images]
             One  (or more if split) disk or partition images whose format is
             given with ’-i’.

      start-stop ...
             Examine the specified block number or number range.
