ncheck_hfs(1M)                                               ncheck_hfs(1M)




 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      ncheck_hfs: ncheck - generate a list of path names from inode numbers
      for a HFS file system

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      /usr/sbin/ncheck [-F hfs] [-V] [-S sector_ranges] [-i inode-numbers]
           [-a] [-s] [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 HFS
      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.  Names of directory files are followed
      by /.

    Options    [Toc]    [Back]
           -a             Allow printing of the names . and .., which are
                          ordinarily suppressed.

           -F hfs         Specify the HFS file system type.

           -i inode-numbers
                          Report only on files whose inode numbers are
                          specified on the command line, in inode-numbers.
                          inode-numbers is a comma separated list of inode
                          numbers.

           -s             Report only on special files and regular files
                          with set-user-ID mode.  The -s option is intended
                          to discover concealed violations of security
                          policy.

           -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.

           -S sector_ranges
                          Report only on files using sector numbers
                          specified on the command line in sector_ranges.
                          sector_ranges is a comma separated list of sector
                          ranges.  A sector range is a starting sector
                          number and an ending sector number separated by a
                          dash, or just a sector number.  The sector numbers
                          should be in DEV_BSIZE units.  If no pathname
                          contains the sector number it will be reported as
                          free or containing file system structure. Sectors
                          beyond the end of the file system will be reported
                          as illegal.

    Access Control Lists    [Toc]    [Back]
      Continuation inodes (that is, inodes containing additional access
      control list information) are quietly skipped since they do not
      correspond to any path name.

 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

 EXTERNAL INFLUENCES    [Toc]    [Back]
    International Code Set Support
      Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.

 DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]
      When the file system structure is improper, ?? denotes the ``parent''
      of a parentless file and a path-name beginning with ... denotes a
      loop.

 AUTHOR    [Toc]    [Back]
      ncheck was developed by AT&T and HP.

      /etc/default/fs          Specifies the default file system type.
      /etc/fstab               Static information about the file systems.
