ncheck

ncheck(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 ncheck(8)

NAME

       ncheck - lists i-number or tag and path name for files in a local file system.

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/ncheck [-i numbers] [-asm] file_spec	    [file_spec...]

PARAMETERS

       Specifies  one  or more file systems.  Specify any file system by entering its full path name or its mount point. The full path name is the
       name entered in the file-spec field of the file system's entry in the /etc/fstab file.	The  mount  point  is  the  name  entered  in  the
       mnt_point field of the file system's entry in the /etc/fstab file.

	      You can also specify a UFS file system by entering the name of its device special file.  For example: /dev/disk/dsk3c.

	      You can also specify an AdvFS fileset by entering the name of the file domain, a pound sign (#) character, and the name of the file-
	      set.  For example: root_domain#root.

FLAGS

       Includes in the list the path names . (dot) and .. (dot dot), which are ordinarily suppressed.  Lists only those files with  the  specified
       i-numbers  (UFS) or tags (AdvFS). If you enter a zero (0) all allocated numbers will be displayed.  Includes in the list the mode, UID, and
       GID of the files.  To use this flag you must also specify either the -i or the -s flag on the command line.  Lists only the  special  files
       and files with set-user-ID mode.

DESCRIPTION

       The  ncheck  command  with  no flags generates a list of all files on every specified file system.  The list includes the path name and the
       corresponding i-number or tag of each file.  Each directory file name in the list is followed by a /. (slash dot).  Use the available flags
       to customize the list to include or exclude specific types of files.

       The files are listed in order by i-number or tag.  To sort the list in a more useful format, pipe the output to the sort command.

NOTES

       The term file_spec represents either a UFS file system or an AdvFS fileset.

       To  uncover  concealed violations of security policy, that is, the inappropriate use of the set-user-ID mode, issue the command with the -s
       flag to list only special files and files with set-user-ID mode.

RESTRICTIONS

       You must be the root user to use this command.

       The ncheck command checks the /etc/fstab file for the specified domain and file system entry.  If there is no entry in /etc/fstab  for  the
       specified file system, an error message is displayed to	indicate that the file does not exist.

DIAGNOSTICS

       When  the  file system structure is improper, ?? (question mark question mark) denotes the parent of a parentless file.	A path name begin-
       ning with ...  (dot dot dot) denotes a loop.

ERRORS

       The ncheck command can be used only for checking local file systems.  The "nnn" string identifies the file system type.

FILES

       Specifies the command path
