NAME

ncheck − generate names from i-numbers

SYNOPSIS

/usr/etc/ncheck [ −i numbers ]  [ −as ] filesystem

DESCRIPTION

Note: For most normal file system maintenance, the function of ncheck is subsumed by fsck(8). 

ncheck generates a pathname versus i-number list of files for the indicated filesystem. Names of directory files are followed by ‘.’

The report is in no useful order, and probably should be sorted. 

OPTIONS

−i numbers
Report only those files whose i-numbers follow. 

−a Print the names ‘.’ and ‘..’, which are ordinarily suppressed. 

−s Report only special files and files with set-user-ID mode.  This is intended to discover concealed violations of security policy. 

SEE ALSO

sort(1V), dcheck(8), fsck(8), icheck(8)

DIAGNOSTICS

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