ncheck

ncheck(1M)						  System Administration Commands						ncheck(1M)

NAME

       ncheck - generate a list of path names versus i-numbers

SYNOPSIS

       ncheck [-F FSType] [-V] [generic_options] [-o FSType-specific_options] [special...]

DESCRIPTION

       ncheck  with  no  options  generates a path-name versus i-number list of all files on  special. If  special is not specified on the command
       line the list is generated for all specials in  /etc/vfstab which have a numeric  fsckpass. special is the raw device  on  which  the  file
       system exists.

OPTIONS

       -F		       Specify	the   FSType  on  which  to  operate. The  FSType should either be specified here  or be determinable from
			       /etc/vfstab by finding an entry in the table that has a numeric	fsckpass field and an  fsckdev that  matches  spe-
			       cial.

       -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  may	be
			       used to verify and validate the command line.

       generic_options	       Options that are commonly supported by most FSType-specific command modules.  The following options are available:

			       -i i-list       Limit  the  report to the files on the  i-list that follows. The i-list must be separated by commas
					       with no intervening spaces.

			       -a	       Print the names "." and ".." which are ordinarily suppressed.

			       -s	       Report only special files and files with set-user-ID mode. This option may be used to detect viola-
					       tions of security policy.

       -o		       Specify	 FSType-specific_options  in  a  comma separated (without spaces) list of suboptions and keyword-attribute
			       pairs for interpretation by the FSType-specific module of the command.

USAGE

       See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of ncheck when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).

FILES

       /etc/vfstab     list of default parameters for each file system

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

NOTES

       This command may not be supported for all  FSTypes.
