NAME

ncheck − generate path names from i-numbers

SYNOPSIS

/etc/ncheck [ −i i-numbers ]  [ −a ] [ −s ]  [ file-system ]

DESCRIPTION

ncheck with no arguments generates a path-name vs. i-number list of all files on a set of default file systems (see /etc/checklist). 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 set-user-ID mode.  This option may be used to detect violations of security policy. 

File system must be specified by the file system’s special file. 

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

SEE ALSO

fsck(1M), sort(1). 

DIAGNOSTICS

If the file system structure is not consistent, ?? denotes the “parent” of a parentless file and a path-name beginning with ... denotes a loop.
