===Purpose===
+
Opens the named image(s) and lists inode information. By default, ils lists only the inodes of removed files.
+
 
+
 
+
===Usage===
+
ils [-emOpvV]  [-f  fstype]  [-s  seconds] [-i imgtype] [-o imgoffset] image [images] [start-stop]
+
ils [-aAlLvVzZ] [-f fstype] [-s seconds] [-i  imgtype]  [-o  imgoffset] image [images] [start-stop]
+
 
+

===Options===

!Switch
+
!Purpose
+
|-
+
| -e || List every inode in the file system.
+
|-
+
| -f fstype || Specifies the file system type. Use the -? argument to display all supported types. If not given, the default type for the platform is used.
+
|-
+
| -s seconds ||  The time skew of the original system in seconds. For example, if the original system was 100 seconds slow, this value would be -100.
+
|-
+
| -m || Display the inode details in the format that the mactime program reads (replaces the ils2mac script from TCT)
+
|-
+
| -O || List only inodes of removed files that are still open or executing. This option is short-hand notation for -aL "(see the fine controls section below). (this used to be -o).
+
|-
+
| -p || Display orphan inodes (unallocated with no file name)
+
|-
+
| -r || (default) List only inodes of removed files. This option is short-hand notation for -LZ (see the fine controls section  below).
+
|-
+
| -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 || 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 inode number or number range.
+
|-
+
! colspan="2"| Fine controls:
+
|-
+
| -a || List only allocated inodes: these belong to files with at least one directory entry in the file system, and to removed files that are still open or executing.
+
|-
+
| -A || List only unallocated inodes: these belong to files that no longer exist.
+
|-
+
| -l || List only inodes with at least one hard link. These belong to files with at least one directory entry in the file system.
+
|-
+
| -L || List only inodes without any hard links. These belong to files that no longer exist, and to removed files that are still open or executing.
+
|-
+
| -z || List only inodes with zero status change time. Presumably, these inodes were never used.
+
|-
+
| -Z || List only inodes with non-zero status change time. Presumably, these belong to files that still exist, or that existed in the past.
+

===Example===
+
Output Format
+
 
+
The  output  format  is in time machine format, as described in tm-format(5). The output begins with a two-line  header  that  describes  the data  origin, and is followed by a one-line header that lists the names of the data attributes that make up the remainder of the output:
+
 
+
{|
+
!Header || Meaning
+
|-
+
| st_ino || The inode number.
+
|-
+
| st_alloc || Allocation status: ‘a’ for allocated inode, ‘f’ for free inode.
+
|-
+
| st_uid || Owner user ID.
+
|-
+
| st_gid || Owner group ID.
+
|-
+
| st_mtime || UNIX time (seconds) of last file modification.
+
|-
+
| st_atime || UNIX time (seconds) of last file access.
+
|-
+
| st_ctime || UNIX time (seconds) of last inode status change.
+
|-
+
| st_dtime || UNIX time (seconds) of file deletion (LINUX only).
+
|-
+
| st_mode || File type and permissions (octal).
+
|-
+
| st_nlink || Number of hard links.
+
|-
+
| st_size || File size in bytes.
+
|-
+
| st_block0,st_block1 || The first two entries in the direct block address list.
