ncheck_hfs(1M)															    ncheck_hfs(1M)

NAME
ncheck_hfs: ncheck - generate a list of path names from inode numbers for a HFS file system SYNOPSIS
inode-numbers] [special ...] DESCRIPTION
when invoked without arguments, generates a list of path names corresponding to the inode numbers of all files contained on the HFS file systems listed in If special is specified, ncheck reports on the special only. Path names generated by are relative to the given special. Names of directory files are followed by Options Allow printing of the names and which are ordinarily suppressed. Specify the HFS file system type. Report only on files whose inode numbers are specified on the command line, in inode-numbers. inode-numbers is a comma separated list of inode numbers. Report only on special files and regular files with set-user-ID mode. The option is intended to discover concealed violations of security policy. Echo the completed command line, but performs no other action. The command line is generated by incorporating the user-specified options and other information derived from This option allows the user to verify the command line. Report only on files using sector numbers specified on the command line in sector_ranges. sector_ranges is a comma separated list of sector ranges. A sector range is a starting sector number and an ending sector number separated by a dash, or just a sector number. The sec- tor numbers should be in DEV_BSIZE units. If no pathname contains the sector number it will be reported as free or containing file system structure. Sectors beyond the end of the file system will be reported as illegal. Access Control Lists Continuation inodes (that is, inodes containing additional access control list information) are quietly skipped since they do not corre- spond to any path name. EXAMPLES
