NAME

fsls - List contents of a raw filesystem.

SYNOPSIS

fsls [-t fstype] [-l] [-R] device [pathname ...]

DESCRIPTION

fscat is a system to read a filesystem off of a raw device and archive or copy its files. This allows administrators to recover data when drivers are not available, and even when the storage is slightly corrupt.

The fsls program behaves like the ls(1) program, except that it operates on a raw filesystem device. It supports the simplest of ls(1) syntax.

fsls differs slightly from ls(1) in how it displays pathnames passed on the command line. If a directory is specified without the trailing /, the directory will be included in the listing of its contents. If the trailing / is included, the directory itself will not be listed.

fsls attempts to determine the type of filesystem on the device. If it cannot, the user must specify it with the -t option.

OPTIONS

-h, --help
Print a short usage summary.

-l
Long listing, like ls(1).

-t fstype
Specifies the type of filesystem on the device. fsls will attempt to determine the filesystem type if this option is not specified. If specified, fsls will attempt to read the device as this type.

If fsls does not have a driver to support the specified or discovered type, it will be unable to read the device.

-R
Recurse into subdirectories.

-V, --version
Print the fsls program version number.
