  ff(8)                               CLIX                               ff(8)



  NAME

    ff - Lists filenames and statistics for a file system

  SYNOPSIS

    /etc/ff [-I] [-l] [-p prefix] [-s] [-u] [-a n] [-m n] [-c n] [-n file] [-
    inode-list] special

  FLAGS

    The flags are as follows:

    -I              Does not display the inode number after each pathname.

    -l              Generates a supplementary list of all pathnames for
                    multiply-linked files.

    -p prefix       Adds the specified prefix to each generated pathname.  The
                    default is . (dot).

    -s              Displays the file size, in bytes, after each pathname.

    -u              Displays the owner's login name after each pathname.

    -a n            Selected if the inode has been accessed in n days.

    -m n            Selected if the inode has been modified in n days.

    -c n            Selected if the inode has been changed in n days.

    -n file         Selected if the inode has been modified more recently than
                    the argument file.

    -i inode-list   Generates names for only those inodes specified in inode-
                    list.

  DESCRIPTION

    The ff command lists filenames and statistics for a file system.  The
    command reads the i-list and directories of the special file, assuming it
    is a file system.  Inode data is saved for files which match the selection
    criteria.  Output consists of the pathname for each saved inode, plus
    other file information requested using the display flags below.  Output
    fields are positional.  The output is produced in inode order; fields are
    separated by tabs.  The default line produced by ff is:

    ff: pathname i-number

    With all flags enabled, output fields would be:




  2/94 - Intergraph Corporation                                              1






  ff(8)                               CLIX                               ff(8)



    ff: pathname i-number size uid

    The argument n in the flag descriptions that follow is used as a decimal
    integer (optionally signed), where +n means more than n, -n means less
    than n, and n means exactly n.  A day is defined as a 24 hour period.

  EXAMPLES

    To generate a table with the pathname, inode, size, and user ID for those
    inodes listed in the /usr file system.

    ff -s -u -i 394 874 2834 /dev/dsk/sOuOp7.3


  NOTES

    The ff command will not work with fast-file systems.

    If the -l flag is not specified, only a single pathname out of all
    possible ones is generated for a multiply-linked inode.  If -l is
    specified, all possible names for every linked file on the file system are
    included in the output.  However, no selection criteria applies to the
    names generated.

  EXIT VALUES

    The ff command exits with a value of 0 if successful.  It exits with a
    value of 1 if an error has occurred.
