NAME
       tsk_recover - Export files from an image into a local directory

SYNOPSIS
       tsk_recover [-vVae] [ -f fstype ] [ -i imgtype ] [ -b dev_sector_size ]
       [ -o sector_offset ] [ -d dir_inum ] image [images] output_dir

DESCRIPTION
       tsk_recover recovers files to the output_dir from the image.  By
       default recovers only unallocated files. With flags, it will export all
       files.

       The arguments are as follows:

       -v     verbose output to stderr

       -V     Print version

       -a     Recover allocated files only

       -e     Recover all files (allocated and unallocated)

       -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
              The format of the image file, such as raw.  Use '-i list' to
              list the supported types.  If not given, autodetection methods
              are used.

       -b dev_sector_size
              The size (in bytes) of the device sectors.  If not given,
              autodetection methods are used.

       -o sector_offset
              Sector offset for a volume to recover (recovers only that
              volume) If not given, will attempt to recover all volumes in
              image and save them to different folders.

       -d dir_inum
              Directory inum to recover from (must also specify a specific
              partition using -o or there must not be a volume system)

       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.

       output_dir
              The directory in which to save recovered files.

EXAMPLES
       To recover only unallocated files from image.dd to the recovered
       directory:

            # tsk_recover ./image.dd ./recovered
