NAME

     ntfs.util -- NTFS file system utility

SYNOPSIS

     ntfs.util -k device

     ntfs.util -m device mountpoint mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4

     ntfs.util -p device mountflag1 mountflag2

     ntfs.util -u device mountpoint

DESCRIPTION

     The ntfs.util command supports the mounting, probing, and unmounting of NTFS file systems.

     Options:
	   -k	       Get the UUID key for the NTFS file system at device.
	   -m	       Mount the NTFS file system located on device onto mountpoint with the flags mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4.
	   -p	       Probe the device for an NTFS file system using the flags mountflag1 mountflag2.	If the probe is successful, i.e. the
		       device contains a valid NTFS file system, its label is printed to the standard output stream.
	   -u	       Unmount the NTFS file system located at device and mounted on mountpoint.

     The mountflags referenced above are:
	   o   mountflag1: removable or fixed
	   o   mountflag2: readonly or writeable
	   o   mountflag3: suid or nosuid
	   o   mountflag4: dev or nodev
