   ff(1M)                                                               ff(1M)


   NAME
         ff (generic) - list file names and statistics for a file system

   SYNOPSIS
         ff [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options] special
         ...

   DESCRIPTION
         ff reads the files and directories of the special file.  I-node data
         is saved for files which match the selection criteria which is either
         the inode number and/or inode age.  Output consists of the path name
         and other file information.  Output fields are positional.  The
         output is produced in i-node order.  The default line produced by ff
         is:

               path-name i-number

         current_options are options supported by the s5-specific module of
         ff.  Other FSTypes do not necessarily support these options.
         specific_options indicate suboptions specified in a comma-separated
         list of suboptions and/or keyword-attribute pairs for interpretation
         by the FSType-specific module of the command.

         The options are:

         -F        Specify the FSType on which to operate.  The FSType should
                   either be specified here or be determinable from
                   /etc/vfstab by matching the special with an entry in the
                   table.

         -V        Echo the complete command line, but do not execute the
                   command.  The command line is generated by using the
                   options and arguments provided by the user and adding to
                   them information derived from /etc/vfstab.  This option
                   should be used to verify and validate the command line.

         -o        Specify FSType-specific options.

   NOTE
         This command may not be supported for all FSTypes.

   FILES
