exttools

========

Some tools for reading ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem images.

I use these mostly to extract files from android system images.

Note that ext4 is not fully supported, some files may not be extracted.

EXAMPLE

=======

This will export the entire filesystem to 'savedir'

    ext2rd  system.img  ./:savedir

ext2rd

======

    Usage: ext2rd [-l] [-v]  [exports...]

         -l       lists all files

         -B       open as block device

         -d       verbosely lists all inodes

         -o OFS1/OFS2  specify offset to efs/sparse image

         -b from[-until]   hexdump blocks

       #123       hexdump inode 123

       #123:path  save inode 123 to path

       ext2path   hexdump ext2fs path

       ext2path:path   save ext2fs path to path

       ext2path/:path  recursively save ext2fs dir to path

    note: ext2path must not start with a slash

    note2: /dev/rdiskNN is much faster than /dev/diskNN

Build instructions

==================

There are two ways of building `extfstools`:

 * using cmake, actually, invoked using the default Makefile.

   * type: `make`  or `make vc` for a windows build.

 * using make with Makefile.unix

   * type: `make -f Makefile.unix`, this should also work in windows.
