  • partclone.fat32, partclone.fat12, partclone.fat16 (all symbolic links to partclone.fat)
  • partclone.ntfs
  • partclone.exfat
  • partclone.hfsplus (symbolic link to partclone.hfsp)

  • partclone.xfs
  • partclone.f2fs
  • partclone.nilfs2
  • partclone.dd (for unsupported filesystems -- it copies all blocks)

They are listed together because aside from the name and the kind of partition they handle, and almost all have the same command-line interface and options (partclone.dd is missing some options).
