ff(1M) — Series 800 Only

NAME

ff − list file names and statistics for a file system

SYNOPSIS

/etc/ff [options] special

DESCRIPTION

ff reads the i-list and directories of the special file special, assuming it to be a file system, saving i-node data for files that match the selection criteria. Output consists of the path name for each saved i-node, plus any other file information requested using the print options below. Output fields are positional. The output is produced in i-node order; fields are separated by tabs. The default line produced by ff includes the path name and i-number fields. With all options specified, the output fields include path name, i-number, size, and UID.

The num parameter in the options descriptions is a decimal number, where +num means more than num, -num means less than num, and num means exactly num. A day is defined as a 24-hour period.

ff lists only a single path name out of many possible ones for an i-node with more than one link, unless you specify the -l option. With -l, ff applies no selection criteria to the names listed. All possible names for every linked file on the file system are included in the output. On very large file systems, memory may run out before ff does.

Options

ff recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:

-a num Selects if the i-node has been accessed in num days.

-c num Selects if the i-node has been changed in num days.

-i inode Generates names for only those i-nodes specified in the i-node list.

-I Does not display the i-node number after each path name.

-l Generates a list of all path names for files with more than one link.

-m num Selects if the file associated with the i-node has been modified in num days.

-n file Selects if the file associated with the i-node has been modified more recently than the specified file.

-p prefix Adds the specified prefix to each path name. The default prefix is . (dot).

-s Writes the file size, in bytes, after each path name.

-u Writes the owner’s login name after each path name.

EXAMPLES

List the path names and i-numbers of all files in the file system /dev/hd1:

ff /dev/hd1

Same, but suppress printing of i-numbers:

ff -I /dev/hd1

List files on the same file system that have been modified recently, displaying the path name, i-number, nad owner’s user name (-u option). List only files that have been modified within the last two days (-m -2 option):

ff -m -2 -u /dev/hd1

List all files on the same file system, including the path name and i-number of each file, that was last accessed more than 30 days ago (-a +30):

ff -a +30 /dev/hd1

Find all path names associated with i-nodes 451 and 76 (-l option):

ff -l -i 451,76 /dev/hd1
