 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      ff_vxfs: ff - fast find: list file names and statistics for a VxFS
      file system

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      ff [-F vxfs] [-VIlsu] [-a num] [-c num] [-i inode-list]
           [-m num] [-n file] [-o s] [-p prefix] special...

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      ff reads the inode list and directories of each special file, assuming
      it to be a VxFS file system, and prints inode data for files that
      match the selection criteria.  Output consists of the pathname for
      each saved inode, plus any other file information requested using the
      print options below.  Output fields are positional.  The output is
      produced in inode order; fields are separated by tabs.  The default
      line produced by ff is:

           pathname inumber

      The pathname is preceded by a dot (.) unless you specify the -p
      generic option.  The maximum information ff displays is:

           pathname inumber size owner

      The num parameter in the options descriptions is a decimal number,
      where +num means more than num days, -num means less than num days,
      and num means exactly num days.  A day is defined as a 24-hour period.

      ff prints summary information to standard error output in addition to
      the report sent to standard output.

    Options    [Toc]    [Back]
      ff recognizes the following options:

           -a num         Select a file if the inode has been accessed in
                          num days.

           -c num         Select a file if the inode has been changed in num
                          days.

           -F vxfs        Specify the VxFS file system type.

           -i inode-list  Generate names for any inodes specified in the
                          inode-list.

           -I             Do not display the inode number after each
                          pathname.

           -l             Generate a list of all pathnames for files with
                          more than one link.

           -m num         Select a file associated with the inode if it has
                          been modified in num days.

           -n file        Select a file associated with an inode if it has
                          been modified more recently than the specified
                          file.

           -p prefix      Add the specified prefix to each pathname.  The
                          default prefix is dot (.).

           -o s           Print only special files and files with set-userID
 mode (VxFS-specific option).

           -s             Write the file size, in bytes, after each
                          pathname.

           -u             Write the owner's login name after each pathname.

           -V             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 /etc/fstab.  This option
                          allows the user to verify the command line.

    Operands    [Toc]    [Back]
      ff recognizes the following operand:

           special        Name of a VxFS file system.

 EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]
      List the pathnames and inumbers of all files in the file system
      /dev/vg01/rlvol1:

           ff /dev/vg01/rlvol1

      Same as above, but suppress the printing of inumbers:

           ff -I /dev/vg01/rlvol1

      List files on the same file system that have been modified in the last
      two days (-m -2), displaying the pathname, inumber, and owner's user
      name (-u).

           ff -m -2 -u /dev/vg01/rlvol1

      List all files on the same file system, including the pathname and
      inumber of each file, that were last accessed more than 30 days ago
      (-a +30):

           ff -a +30 /dev/vg01/rlvol1

      Find all pathnames associated with inodes 451 and 76 (-l):

           ff  -l  -i  451,76  /dev/vg01/rlvol1

      Execute the ff command on a VxFS file system /dev/vg01/rlvol1:

           ff -F vxfs /dev/vg01/rlvol1
