ff(1M)                                                               ff(1M)




 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      ff - list file names and statistics for a file system

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

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The ff command reads the i-list and directories of each special file,
      assuming it to be a file system, saving i-node data for files that
      match the selection criteria.  Output consists of the path name for
      each saved i-node, plus any other file information requested with the
      -o option.  Output fields are positional.  The output is produced in
      i-node order; fields are separated by tabs.  The default line produced
      by ff includes the path name and i-number fields.

    Options and Arguments    [Toc]    [Back]
      ff recognizes the following options and arguments:

           -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 man 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]
      List the path names and i-numbers of all files in the file system
      /dev/dsk/c1d2s0:

           ff /dev/dsk/c1d2s0

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

           ff -F hfs /dev/dsk/c1d2s0
