JCAT(1)

NAME
jcat - Show the contents of a block in the file system journal.

SYNOPSIS
jcat [-f fstype ] [-vV] [-i imgtype] [-o imgoffset] [-b dev_sector_size] image [images] ] [ inode ] jblk

DESCRIPTION
jcat shows the contents of a journal block in the file system journal. The inode address of the journal can be given or the default location will be used. Note that the block address is a journal block address and not a file system block. The raw output is given to STDOUT.

-f fstype
    Specify the file system type. Use '-f list' to list the supported file system types. If not given, autodetection methods are used.

-i imgtype
    Identify the type of image file, such as raw or split. Use '-i list' to list the supported types. If not given, autodetection methods are used.

-o imgoffset
    The sector offset where the file system starts in the image.

-b dev_sector_size
    The size, in bytes, of the underlying device sectors. If not given, the value in the image format is used (if it exists) or 512-bytes is assumed.

-V  Display version

-v  verbose output

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

[inode]
    The inode where the file system journal can be found.
