     FF(ADM)                                    UNIX System V



     Name
          ff - list file names and statistics for a filesystem


     Syntax
          /etc/ff [options] special


     Description
          The ff command reads  the  i-list  and  directories  of  the
          special  file,  assuming it is a file system.  Inode data is
          saved for files which match the selection criteria.   Output
          consists  of  the path name for each saved inode, plus other
          file information requested using the  print  options  below.
          Output  fields  are  positional.   The output is produced in
          inode order; fields are separated by tabs.  The default line
          produced by ff is:

               path-name i-number

          With all options enabled, output fields would be:

               path-name i-number size uid

          The argument n in the option  descriptions  that  follow  is
          used  as  a  decimal  integer  (optionally signed), where +n
          means more than n, -n means less than n, and n means exactly
          n.  A day is defined as a 24-hour period.

          -I           Do not print the inode number after  each  path
                       name.

          -l           Generate a supplementary list of all path names
                       for multiple-linked files.

          -p prefix    The specified prefix  will  be  added  to  each
                       generated path name.  The default is . (dot).

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

          -u           Print the owner's login name  after  each  path
                       name.

          -a n         Select if the inode  has  been  accessed  in  n
                       days.

          -m n         Select if the inode  has  been  modified  in  n
                       days.

          -c n         Select if the inode has been changed in n days.

          -n file      Select if the  inode  has  been  modified  more
                       recently than the argument file.

          -i inode-list
                       Generate names for only those inodes  specified
                       in inode-list.

     Notes
          If the -l option is not specified, only a single  path  name
          out  of all possible ones is generated for a multiple-linked
          inode. If -l is specified,  all  possible  names  for  every
          linked  file  on the file system are included in the output.
          However, no selection criteria apply to the names generated.

          This command only works on UNIX filesystems.
