[sleuthkit-developers] Reading file data using the database tsk_file_layout information

[Edward D. <eld...@tr...>]

How do I read the contents of a file from an image using the database's 
tsk_file_layout information for a file ?

Is there a way to use some tsk file functionality to read the file's 
data using the tsk_file_layout information ?

I have found out that the tsk_file_layout information for a file 
contains blocks of data which has both the file data and non-file data 
filling out the blocks, so a naive attempt at just reading the 
information directly from the image using tsk_image_open and 
tsk_image_read does not work.

Any help with this would be appreciated.
