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 partition 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 number 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 usually 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.
