NAME
       ncheck  -  generate names from i-numbers

SYNOPSIS
       ncheck [ -i numbers ]  [ -a ] [ -s ]  [ filesystem ]

DESCRIPTION
       Ncheck 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.

SEE ALSO
       sort(1), dcheck(8), fsck(8), icheck(8)

DIAGNOSTICS
       When the file system structure is improper, `??' denotes the `parent' of a parentless file and a pathname beginning with  `...'	denotes  a
       loop.
