ncheck(1M)                                                          ncheck(1M)



NAME
     ncheck - generate pathnames from i-numbers

SYNOPSIS
     ncheck [ -i i-numbers ]  [ -a ] [ -s ]  [ filesystem ]

DESCRIPTION
     ncheck with no arguments generates a pathname and i-number list of all
     files on a set of default filesystems (see /etc/fstab).  Names of
     directory files are followed by /..

     The options are as follows:

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

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

     -s   limits the report to special files and files with setuserid mode.
          This option may be used to detect violations of security policy.

     filesystem must be specified by the filesystem's special file in /dev.

     ncheck is only useful with Extent Filesystems (EFS).  For XFS
     filesystems, see xfs_ncheck(1M).

     The report should be sorted so that it is more useful.

SEE ALSO
     findblk(1M), fsck(1M), sort(1), xfs_ncheck(1M).

DIAGNOSTICS
     If the filesystem structure is not consistent, ?? denotes the ``parent''
     of a parentless file and a pathname beginning with ... denotes a loop.
