Hi, here are some features that allowed me to use your program to investigate a damaged ext4 partition. Maybe you want to cherry-pick some of it, if not all.

In addition to this I had to add some sanity checks of inodes etc for use with corrupted file systems. I don't know if you are interested in going in this direction with your tool.

*) I tried cross-building with MinGW but hit issues with cpp-utils and sys/mmem.h.
