NCHECK(8)               GENIX Programmer's Manual               NCHECK(8)



      NAME
           ncheck  -  generate names from i-numbers

      SYNOPSIS
           /etc/ncheck [ -i numbers ]  [ -a ] [ -s ]  [ filesystem ]

      DESCRIPTION
           N.B.: For most normal  file  system  maintenance,  the  function  of
           ncheck is subsumed by fsck(8).

           Ncheck with no argument generates a pathname vs.  i-number  list  of
           all  files  on  a  set  of default file systems.  Names of directory
           files are followed by `/.'.  The -i option  reduces  the  report  to
           only  those  files  whose  i-numbers  follow.   The -a option allows
           printing of the names `.' and `..', which are ordinarily suppressed.
           suppressed.   The  -s option reduces the report to special files and
           files with set-user-ID mode; it is intended  to  discover  concealed
           violations of security policy.

           A file system may be specified.

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

      DIAGNOSTICS
           When the filesystem structure is improper, `??' denotes the `parent'
           of  a  parentless file and a pathname beginning with `...' denotes a
           loop.
