NCHECK_FFS(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual NCHECK_FFS(8)
NAME
ncheck_ffs, ncheck - generate names from inode-numbers
SYNOPSIS
ncheck_ffs [-ams] [-f format] [-i number ...] filesystem
DESCRIPTION
ncheck_ffs generates a list of filenames and inode numbers for the given
file system. Names of directories are followed by a `.'. ncheck_ffs may
be invoked more simply as ncheck, with no change in behaviour.
The options are as follows:
-a Print the file names `.' and `..', which are ordinarily skipped.
-f format
Use a custom output format when printing inode information.
Characters from format are printed for each inode with the
following escape sequences:
\a Print a <bell> character.
\b Print a <backspace> character.
\e Print an <escape> character.
\f Print a <form-feed> character.
\I Print the inode number.
\n Print a <new-line> character.
\P Print the pathname to the file using the current
inode number.
\r Print a <carriage return> character.
\t Print a <tab> character.
\v Print a <vertical tab> character.
\' Print a <single quote> character.
\\ Print a backslash character.
\0 Print a NUL character.
All other characters, when prefixed by a backslash, simply print
the character following the backslash. The device name is not
printed on the first line of output when the -f option is
specified.
-i number ...
Report only those files whose inode numbers are as listed.
-m Give more verbose information on inodes.
-s Report only special files and files with set-user-ID or set-
group-ID set. This is meant to find hidden violations of
security policies.
The report is not sorted.
