Description

When trying to run ltfs_ordered_copy on my FreeBSD 12.2 it says unsupported platform 'FreeBSD'..

I would love that tool to work here, as python is well supported and has been forever.

Thanks for all the hard work, hope this will be possible in the future.

Research direction

Start with the ltfs_ordered_copy entry point and reproduce the unsupported platform 'FreeBSD' message on FreeBSD 12.2. Trace where platform support is checked and identify the existing platform-specific tests or instructions; done means the tool runs successfully on the reported FreeBSD environment.
