ncheck(ADM)                     19 June 1992                     ncheck(ADM)


 Name

    ncheck - generate names from inode numbers

 Syntax

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

 Description

    ncheck with no argument generates a pathname and inode number list of all
    files on the set of filesystems specified in /etc/mnttab.  The two char-
    acters ``/.'' are appended to the names of directory files.

    The options are as follows:

    -i   limits the report to only those files whose inode numbers follow.

    -a   allows printing of the names . and .., which are ordinarily
         suppressed.

    -s   limits the report to special files and files with set-user-ID
         (setuid) mode.  This option may be used to detect violations of
         security policy.

    A single filesystem may be specified rather than the default list of
    mounted filesystems.

 File

    /etc/mnttab

    fsck(ADM), sort(C)

 Diagnostics

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

 Notes

    See ``Notes'' under mount(ADM).

    The directory /etc/fscmd.d/TYPE contains programs for each filesystem
    type; ncheck invokes the appropriate binary.
