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.
