ncheck(8)                           CLIX                           ncheck(8)



  NAME

    ncheck, ffsncheck - Generates pathnames from i-numbers

  SYNOPSIS

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

    /etc/ffsncheck [-i i-numbers] [-a] [-s] [file-system]

  FLAGS

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

    -a   Allows displaying of the names . and .., which are ordinarily
         suppressed.

    -s   Limits the report to special files and files with set-user-ID mode.
         This flag may be used to detect violations of security policy.

    The file system parameter must be specified by the file system's special
    file.

  DESCRIPTION

    Issuing the ncheck or the ffsncheck command with no arguments generates a
    list of pathnames and corresponding i-numbers for all files on a set of
    default file systems (see /etc/checklist).  Names of directory files are
    followed by /...

    The ncheck command audits an fs type file system as the default file
    system.  The ncheck command also acts as a front-end driver for other file
    system types.  If the file system is not the default type, ncheck executes
    fstyp, forms a pathname from the output, appends the output to the front
    of ncheck, and executes the audit command that was formed.  For example,
    if fstyp reports the file system to be of type FFS, ncheck will call
    ffsncheck.

    If the file system type is unknown, ncheck will assume type fs.

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

  EXAMPLES

    1.  The following command gives the pathnames corresponding to inode
        numbers 450 and 451 on the /usr file system:

        ncheck -i 450 451 /dev/dsk/s0u0p7.3


    2.  The following command lists all pathnames for all inodes, including

        directory files for the /dev/dsk/s0u0p7.4 file system:

        ncheck -a /dev/dsk/s0u0p7.4


    3.  The following command lists all block special, character special, and
        set-user-ID files in the files systems listed in /etc/checklist.

        ncheck -s


  FILES

    /etc/checklist
           Contains a default list of file systems on which ncheck can
           operate.

  NOTES

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

    The ffsncheck command cannot detect parentless files or loops.

  DIAGNOSTICS

    No file systems were given on the command line, and the /etc/checklist
    file does not exist, or does not have read permission:

    Can't open checklist file

    The file system to be checked does not exist or will not allow opens for
    reading:

    ncheck: Cannot Open file system

    The file system type was determined, but no corresponding ncheck command
    exists:

    ncheck: Cannot Exec command


  EXIT VALUES

    If unsuccessful, ncheck returns one of the following values:

    2   could not open checklist file

    1   other error
