ncheck(1M)                                                       ncheck(1M)

NAME
     ncheck (generic) - generate a list of path names versus i-numbers

SYNOPSIS
     ncheck [-F FSType] [-Vas] [-i i-numbers] [-o specificoptions] [spe-
     cial ...]

DESCRIPTION
     ncheck with no options generates a pathname versus i-number list of
     all files on special. If special is not specified on the command line
     the list is generated for all specials in /etc/vfstab for entries
     which have a numeric fsckpass. special is a block special device or a
     raw device on which the file system exists.

     There are two types of option: genericoptions and specificoptions.
     genericoptions indicate options that are supported not only by the
     generic but also by the FST-specific module of the command (if that
     command exists). specificoptions indicate suboptions that are sup-
     ported only by the FST-specific module of the command. They are speci-
     fied in a comma-separated list and/or as keyword-attribute pairs for
     interpretation by the FST-specific module of the command. These subop-
     tions are specified via the -o option.

     The genericoptions are:

     -F   Specifies the FSType on which to operate. The FSType should
          either be specified here or be determinable from /etc/vfstab by
          finding an entry in the table that has a numeric fsckpass field
          and a matching special if specified.

     -V   Echoes the complete command line, but does not execute the com-
          mand. The command line is generated by using the options and
          arguments provided by the user and adding to them information
          derived from /etc/vfstab. This option should be used to verify
          and validate the command line. When used with the FSType option,
          it passes the -V to the FSType-specific module for interpreta-
          tion.

     -i i-number
          Limits the report to those files whose i-numbers follow. The i-
          numbers must be separated by commas without spaces.

     -a   Allows printing of the names "." and "..", which are ordinarily
          suppressed.

     -s   Limits the report to special files and files with set-user-ID
          mode. This option may be used to detect violations of security
          policy.

     -o   Used to specify FSType specific options if any.
