A small and *very* basic Rust library to read the ext4 filesystem. It was primarily developed to learn how to write filesystem forensic parsers.

This library would have been impossible without the excellent resources provided at:

- [OS Dev](https://wiki.osdev.org/Ext4)

- [ext4 tutorial](https://metebalci.com/blog/a-minimum-complete-tutorial-of-linux-ext4-file-system/)
