ncheck(1M)                                                       ncheck(1M)




 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      ncheck - generate a list of path names from inode numbers

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      /usr/sbin/ncheck [-F FStype] [-V] [-o specific_options] [special ...]

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      ncheck, when invoked without arguments, generates a list of path names
      corresponding to the inode numbers of all files contained on the file
      systems listed in /etc/fstab.  If special is specified, ncheck reports
      on the special only.  Path names generated by ncheck are relative to
      the given special.

    Options    [Toc]    [Back]
           -F FStype      Specify the file system type on which to operate
                          (see fstyp(1M) and fs_wrapper(5)).  If this option
                          is not included on the command line, then the file
                          system type is determined from the file /etc/fstab
                          by matching each special with an entry in that
                          file.  If there is no entry in /etc/fstab, then
                          the file system type is determined from the file
                          /etc/default/fs.

           -o specific_options
                          Specify options specific to each file system type.
                          specific_options is a list of suboptions and/or
                          keyword/attribute pairs intended for a specific
                          FStype-specific module of the command.  See the
                          file-system-specific manual pages for a
                          description of the specific_options supported, if
                          any.

           -V             Echo the completed command line, but perform 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.

 EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]
      Execute the ncheck command on all special in /etc/fstab:

           ncheck

      Execute the ncheck command on HFS file system /dev/dsk/c1d2s0:

           ncheck -F hfs /dev/dsk/c1d2s0

      Display a completed command line without executing the command:

           ncheck -V /dev/dsk/c1d2s0
