ncheck(8) System Manager's Manual ncheck(8)
Name
ncheck - generate names from i-numbers
Syntax
/etc/ncheck [ -i numbers ] [ -a ] [ -s ] [ filesystem ]
Description
For most normal file system maintenance, the function of is subsumed by
The command with no argument generates a pathname vs. i-number list of all files on a set of default file systems. Names of directory
files are followed by `/.'. The -i option reduces the report to only those files whose i-numbers follow. The -a option allows printing of
the names `.' and `..', which are ordinarily suppressed. The -s option reduces the report to special files and files with set-user-ID
mode; it is intended to discover concealed violations of security policy.
A file system may be specified.
The report is in no useful order, and probably should be sorted.
Diagnostics
When the filesystem structure is improper, `??' denotes the `parent' of a parentless file and a pathname beginning with `...' denotes a
loop.
