NAME

ncheck − generate names from i-numbers

SYNOPSIS

/etc/ncheck [ −inumbers ]  [ −a ] [ −s ]  [ filesystem ]

DESCRIPTION

N.B.: For most normal file system maintenance, the function of ncheck is subsumed by fsck(8).

Ncheck with no argument generates a pathname versus i-number list of all files on a set of default file systems.  Names of directory files are followed by ‘/.’. 

A file system may be specified by the optional filesystem argument. 

The report is in no useful order, and probably should be sorted. 

OPTIONS

−inumbers
Report only those files whose i-numbers follow. 

−a Print the names ‘.’ and ‘..’, which are ordinarily suppressed. 

−s Report only special files and files with set-user-ID mode.  This is intended to discover concealed violations of security policy. 

SEE ALSO

sort(1), dcheck(8), fsck(8), icheck(8)

DIAGNOSTICS

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