NAME
       ncheck_vxfs - generate path names from inode numbers for a VxFS file system

SYNOPSIS
       [ generic_options ]

DESCRIPTION
       generates a list of path names corresponding to inode numbers for files in a specified VxFS file system.

       You  can  specify  a range for some options.  A range can be a single number or two numbers separated by a hyphen (-).  The range is inclu-
       sive.  If you enter a hyphen and omit the first number, the range begins at zero.  If you omit the second number, the range ends at the end
       of the file system.

       Names of directory files are followed by slash dot (/.).

OPTIONS
       generic_options
		 Supported by the generic command.  See ncheck(1M).

       Specifies the VxFS file system type.

		 Allow printing of the names dot
			   and dot dot which are ordinarily suppressed.

		 Limit the report to the files on the inode list,
			   ilist, that follows.  The ilist must be separated by commas without spaces.

		 Specifies options specific to the VxFS file system type.
			   specific_options is a list of suboptions or keyword/attribute pairs.

			   Prints the path name containing file system block number
				     block.

			   Prints information on all inodes containing or referencing block numbers
				     in  the specified range.  The output format is the same as that for but the units used are file system blocks
				     instead of sectors.

			   Lists the files residing in the specified Storage Checkpoint.

			   Specifies the device ID.
				     Used for multi-volume file systems.  If the option is not specified, is run on all available devices.  If	is
				     specified, all subsequent block or sector ranges are scanned for the device specified by devid.

			   Prints mode information (used in conjunction with the
				     generic option).

			   Reports on all inodes containing or referencing the sectors in
				     sector_range.   The  output includes the inode number, fileset index of the inode, sectors contained, and the
				     path name or inode type.  Inodes searched include structural inodes and attribute inodes, so a path  name	is
				     only  generated  when the sector is contained by a file.  If the sector is not contained in any file, is dis-
				     played for the inode type.  Multiple options accumulate.

			   Performs a surface analysis.
				     If a sector_range is specified, performs a surface analysis only for that range.  All the sector are read and
				     if  the  read of a sector fails, its sector number is printed.  If any bad sectors are found, treats the list
				     of bad sectors as input to the option and produces a list containing or referencing inodes.

		 Report only on special files and regular files with set-user-ID mode.
				This option may be used to detect violations of security policy.

		 Report on files containing or referencing the specified sector(s).
				Output consists of the fileset name, fileset index, inode number, and pathname of file or file type  if  a  struc-
				tural  inode  or attribute inode.  Sectors not allocated to any file or file system structure are reported as Sec-
				tors not part of the file system are reported as Unused or irrelevant fields are printed as

				sector_list consists of one or more ranges of sector numbers, separated  by  commas  without  intervening  spaces.
				Multiple options accumulate.

		 Prints the completed command, but does not perform any action.

EXAMPLES
       Report on all inodes or file system structures containing or referencing sector 20 through 35 (inclusive) in the file system

       The following command is same as above, but reports on all inodes or file system structures referencing any sector in the file system:

       Report on a specified range of block numbers (partial output shown):

	      ncheck -F vxfs -oblock=- /dev/vx/rdsk/vset5

       List the files in the Storage Checkpoint named on the device

       Report all inodes and file system structures referencing any sector in the device with devid 2 in the file system

DIAGNOSTICS
       When  the file system structure is not correct, prints three question marks (???) to denote the "parent" of a parentless file.  A path name
       beginning with dot dot dot indicates a loop.  A path name beginning with three asterisks denotes a directory entry whose dot dot entry does
       not correspond with the directory in which it was found.
