NCHECK(8)           UNIX Programmer's Manual            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 _n_c_h_e_c_k is subsumed by _f_s_c_k(8).

     _N_c_h_e_c_k 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 pol-
     icy.

     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.
