ncheck(8) System Manager's Manual ncheck(8) NAME ncheck - lists i-number and path name for all files in a file system. SYNOPSIS /usr/sbin/ncheck [-i numbers] [-asm] filesystem ... PARAMETERS Specifies one or more file systems. Specify any file system by enter- ing its full path name. The full path name is the file system's mount point in the /etc/fstab file. You can also specify a UFS file system by entering the name of its device special file. For example: /dev/rrz3c. You can also specify an AdvFS fileset by entering the name of the file domain, a pound sign (#) character, and the name of the fileset. For example: root_domain#root. FLAGS Includes in the list the path names . (dot) and .. (dot dot), which are ordinarily suppressed. Lists only those files with the specified i- numbers (UFS) or tags (AdvFS). Includes in the list the mode, UID, and GID of the files. To use this flag you must also specify either the -i or the -s flag on the command line. Lists only the special files and files with set-user-ID mode. DESCRIPTION The ncheck command with no flags generates a list of all files on every specified file system. The list includes the path name and the corre- sponding i-number or tag of each file. Each directory file name in the list is followed by a /. (slash dot). Use the available flags to cus- tomize the list to include or exclude specific types of files. The files are listed in order by i-number or tag. To sort the list in a more useful format, pipe the output to the sort command. NOTES The term file system represents either a UFS file system or an AdvFS fileset. To uncover concealed violations of security policy, that is, the inap- propriate use of the set-user-ID mode, issue the command with the -s flag to list only special files and files with set-user-ID mode. RESTRICTIONS You must be the root user to use this command. The ncheck command checks the /etc/fstab file for the specified domain and file system entry. If there is no entry in /etc/fstab for the specified file system, an error message is displayed to indicate that the file does not exist. DIAGNOSTICS When the file system structure is improper, ?? (question mark question mark) denotes the parent of a parentless file. A path name beginning with ... (dot dot dot) denotes a loop.
