NAME

ncheck − generate names from i-numbers

SYNOPSIS

/etc/ncheck [ −i numbers] [ −a ] [ −s ] [ file-system ]

DESCRIPTION

Ncheck with no argument generates a path name vs. i-number list of all files on the volumes specified by the file /etc/checklist.  Names of directory files are followed by "/.".  The options are as follows:

−i numbers Reduce the report to only those files whose i-numbers are specified on the command line in the numbers list. 

−a Allow printing of the names .  and .., which are ordinarily suppressed. 

−s Reduce the report to special files, and regular files with set-user-ID mode.  (Context dependent files, which are set-user-ID dirctories, are not included in the report.)  The −s option is intended to discover concealed violations of security policy. 

A file-system (block special file) may be specified. 

The report is in no useful order, and probably should be sorted. 

DIAGNOSTICS

When the file system structure is improper, ?? denotes the “parent” of a parentless file and a path-name beginning with ... denotes a loop. 

DEPENDENCIES

Series 800
Context dependent files are not supported.
