NCHECK(8)                                                            NCHECK(8)


NAME
       ncheck - generate names from i-numbers

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/ncheck [ -i numbers ] [ -a ] [ -s ] filesystems ...

DESCRIPTION
       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 fol‐
       lowed 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.

SEE ALSO
       sort(1), dcheck(8), fsck(8), icheck(8)

DIAGNOSTICS
       When the filesystem structure is improper, ‘??’ denotes the ‘parent’ of
       a parentless file and a pathname beginning with ‘...’ denotes a loop.
