@(#)ncheck.8 8.1 (Berkeley) 06/05/93

C 4 ncheck - generate names from i-numbers ncheck [ -i numbers ] [ -a ] [ -s ] filesystems ... N.B.: For most normal file system maintenance, the function of ncheck is subsumed by fsck (8).

Ncheck with no options generates a pathname vs. i-number list of all files on every specified filesystem. 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.

The report is in no useful order, and probably should be sorted.

sort(1), dcheck(8), fsck(8), icheck(8) When the filesystem structure is improper, `??' denotes the `parent' of a parentless file and a pathname beginning with `...' denotes a loop.
