How to explore and extract files from FatCat?

$ fatcat disk.img -l / -d f 24/10/2013 12:13:24 delete_me.txt c=5764 s=16 (16B) d You can explore and spot a file or an interesting deleted directory. To retrieve a deleted file, simply use -r to read it. Note that the produced file will be read contiguously from the original FAT system and may be broken.

How to check if FatCat recognizes your image?

A first way to go is trying to explore your image using -l as above and check -i to find out if fatcat recognizes the disk as a FAT system. Then, you can try to have a look at -2, to check if the file allocation tables differs, and if it looks mergeable.

How to find orphan files in FatCat cluster?

$ fatcat disk.img -L 4592 Listing cluster 4592 Cluster: 4592 d 23/10/2013 17:45:06 ./ c=4592 d 23/10/2013 17:45:06 ../ c=0 f 23/10/2013 17:45:22 poor_orphan.txt c=4601 s=49 (49B) Note that orphan files have an unknown size, this mean that if you read it, you will get a file that is a multiple of the cluster sizes.

How to make FatCat start on multiple partitions?

NOTE: according to your build, you might have to specify options before disk.img, i.e fatcat [options] disk.img You can specify an offset in the file with -O, this could be useful if there is multiple partitions on a block devices, for instance: This will tell fatcat to begin on the 1048576th byte. Have a look to the partition tutorial.

How does flexible structure alignment work in FatCat?

In FATCAT, the structure alignment is formulated as the AFPs (aligned fragment pairs) chaining process allowing at most t twists, and the flexible structure alignment is transformed into a rigid structure alignment when t is forced to be 0. Dynamic programming is used to find the optimal chaining.

What is the purpose of FatCat 2.0 research?

FATCAT 2.0: towards a better understanding of the structural diversity of proteins, Nucleic Acids Research, gkaa443. May 2020

How is FatCat used in protein structure comparison?

FATCAT (Flexible structure AlignmenT by Chaining Aligned fragment pairs allowing Twists) is an approach for flexible protein structure comparison.
