Synopsis

dump.f2fs [ -i inode number ] [ -s SIT range ] [ -a SSA range ] [ -b block address ] [ -d debugging-level ] device

Description

dump.f2fs is used to retrieve f2fs metadata (usually in a disk partition). device is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g. /dev/sdXX).

Currently, it can retrieve 1) a file given its inode number, 2) SIT entries into a file, 3) SSA entries into a file, 4) reverse information from the given block address.
