NAME

ncheck −  generate names from i-numbers

SYNOPSIS

/usr/etc/ncheck [ −i numbers ]  [ −a ] [ −s ]  filesystem

DESCRIPTION

N.B.: For most normal file system maintenance, the function of ncheck is subsumed by fsck(1M). 

ncheck with no argument generates a pathname vs. i-number list of all files on a set of default file systems.  Names of directory files are followed by ‘/.’.  The −i option reduces the report to only those files whose i-numbers follow.  The −a option allows printing of the names ‘.’ and ‘..’, which are ordinarily suppressed.  The −s option reduces the report to special files and files with set-user-ID mode; it is intended to discover concealed violations of security policy. 

A file system must be specified. 

SEE ALSO

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

DIAGNOSTICS

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