.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
E2tools is a simple set of GPL'ed utilities to read, write, and
|
||
|
|
manipulate files in an ext2/ext3 filesystem. These utilities access a
|
||
|
|
filesystem directly using the ext2fs library. I wrote these tools in order
|
||
|
|
to copy files into a linux filesystem on a machine that does not have ext2
|
||
|
|
support. Of course, they can also be used on a linux machine to read/write
|
||
|
|
to disk images or floppies without having to mount them or have root
|
||
|
|
access.

||
|
|
.B e2rm

|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||

|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
.TP
|

|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
In general, to specify a directory or file on an ext2 filesystem for the
|
||
|
|
e2tools utilities, use the following form:
|
||
|
|
.IP
|
||
|
|
filesystem:directory_path
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The filesystem can be an unmounted partition or a regular file that's been
|
||
|
|
formatted to contain an ext2 filesystem. In general, if a command takes
|
||
|
|
multiple file names on the command line, if the first one contains an ext2
|
||
|
|
file specification, the rest of the files are assumed to be on the same
|
||
|
|
filesystem until another one is explicitly stated:
|
||
|
|
.IP
|
||
|
|
/tmp/boot.img:/tmp/file1
|
||
|
|
.IP
|
||
|
|
/tmp/file2
|
||
|
|
.IP
|
||
|
|
/tmp/file3
|
||
|
|
.IP
|
||
|
|
/tmp/boot2.img:/tmp/file4
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Files 1-3 are on /tmp/boot.img and the last file is on /tmp/boot2.img
