NCHECK(1M) — Silicon Graphics
NAME
ncheck − generate names from i-numbers
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ncheck [ −i numbers... ] [ −a ] [ −s ] [ file-system ]
DESCRIPTION
ncheck associates pathnames with i-numbers from a raw file-system. Bell file systems and Extent file systems are both supported (see fs(4)).
ncheck with no argument generates a path name accompanied by an 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. 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.
EXAMPLE
ncheck /dev/md0a
will report the pathnames and i-numbers of files on the specified device.
FILES
/etc/checklistlist of default file systems.
SEE ALSO
checklist(4), fs(4), fsck(1M), sort(1).
DIAGNOSTICS
When the file system structure is improper, ‘??’ denotes the “parent” of a parentless file and a path name beginning with ‘...’ denotes a loop.
