NTFSLS(8) NTFSLS(8) NAME ntfsls - list directory contents on an NTFS filesystem SYNOPSIS ntfsls [options] device ntfsls [ -a | --all ] [ -F | --classify ] [ -f | --force ] [ -h | --help ] [ -i | --inode ] [ -l | --long ] [ -p | --path PATH ] [ -q | --quiet ] [ -s | --system ] [ -V | --version ] [ -v | --verbose ] [ -x | --dos ] device DESCRIPTION ntfsls is used to list information about the files specified by the PATH option (the root directory by default). DEVICE is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g /dev/hdXX) or an NTFS image file. OPTIONS Below is a summary of all the options that ntfsls accepts. Nearly all options have two equivalent names. The short name is preceded by - and the long name is preceded by --. Any single letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g. -fv is equivalent to -f -v. Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name. -a, --all Display all files. If this option is not specified file names in the POSIX namespace will not be displayed. -F, --classify Append indicator (one of */=@|) to entries. -f, --force Force execution. For example necessary to run on an NTFS parti- tion stored in a normal file. -h, --help Print the usage information of ntfsls and exit. -i, --inode Print inode number of each file. This is the MFT reference num- ber in NTFS terminology. -l, --long Use a long listing format. -p, --path PATH The directory whose contents to list or the file (including the path) about which to display information. -q, --quiet Suppress some debug/warning/error messages. -R, --recursive Show the contents of all directories beneath the specified directory. -s, --system Unless this options is specified, all files beginning with a dollar sign character will not be listed as these files are usu- ally system files. -v, --verbose Display more debug/warning/error messages. -V, --version Print the version number of ntfsls and exit. -x, --dos Display short file names, i.e. files in the DOS namespace, instead of long file names, i.e. files in the WIN32 namespace.
