 ff(ADM)                         19 June 1992                         ff(ADM)


 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 peri-
    od.

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

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

    -pprefix       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.

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

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

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

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

    -iinode-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 speci-
    fied, 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.
