Quote from https://wiki.sleuthkit.org/index.php?title=Body_file:
The body file is an intermediate file when creating a timeline of file activity. It is a pipe (“|”) delimited text file that contains one line for each file (or other even type, such as a log or registry key). The fls, ils, and mac-robber tools all output this data format. The mactime tool reads this file and sorts the contents (therefore the format is sometimes referred to as the “mactime format”).
The body file format in TSK 3.0+ is different from the format used in TSK 1.X and 2.X.
The 3.X output has the following fields:
ⓘMD5|name|inode|mode_as_string|UID|GID|size|atime|mtime|ctime|crtimeThe times are reported in UNIX time format. Lines that start with ‘#’ are ignored and treated as comments. In mactime, many of theses fields are optional. Its only requirement is that at least one of the time values is non-zero. The non-time values are simply printed as is. Other tools that read this file format may have different requirements.
This crate implements generation and parsing of bodyfile lines
Example
use bodyfile::Bodyfile3Line;
use std::convert::TryFrom;
let str_line = "0|/Users/Administrator ($FILE_NAME)|93552-48-2|d/drwxrwxrwx|0|0|92|1577092511|1577092511|1577092511|-1";
let bf_line = Bodyfile3Line::try_from(str_line).unwrap();
assert_eq!(str_line, bf_line.to_string());Handling of pipes
Normally, a filename should not contain a pipe symbol (|), but if [bodyfile] is being used together with other sources, this may happen. So we need to be able to handle this also:
use bodyfile::Bodyfile3Line;
use std::convert::TryFrom;
let str_line = "0|command was ls -l | wc |93552-48-2|d/drwxrwxrwx|0|0|92|1577092511|1577092511|1577092511|-1";
let bf_line = Bodyfile3Line::try_from(str_line).unwrap();
assert_eq!(str_line, bf_line.to_string());Re-exports
pub use bodyfile3::*;
