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.

ARGUMENTS
       -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.  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]
              The disk or partition image to read, whose format is given with
              '-i'.  Multiple image file names can be given if the image is
              split into multiple segments.  If only one image file is given,
              and its name is the first in a sequence (e.g., as indicated by
              ending in '.001'), subsequent image segments will be included
              automatically.

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

       jblk   The journal block to display.

EXAMPLES
       jcat -f linux-ext3 img.dd 34 | xxd
