dissect.xfs#
A Dissect module implementing a parser for the XFS file system, commonly used by RedHat Linux distributions.
Installation#

package.
Usage#
This package is a library with no CLI tools, so you can only interact with it from Python. For example, to print a directory listing of the root directory and read a file:
from dissect.xfs import XFS
fh = open_xfs_volume() # i.e. using dissect.volume
fs = XFS(fh)
print(fs.get("/").listdir())
file_fh = fs.get("/file.txt").open() # This is just another file-like object
print(file_fh.read())
