NCHECK(8)           UNIX Programmer's Manual            NCHECK(8)



NAME
     ncheck  -  generate names from i-numbers

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/ncheck [ -i numbers ]  [ -a ] [ -s ]  [ filesystem ]

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 argument generates a pathname vs. i-number
     list of all files on a set of default file systems.  Names
     of directory files are followed by `/.'.  The -i option
     reduces the report to only those files whose i-numbers fol-
     low.  The -a option allows printing of the names `.' and
     `..', which are ordinarily suppressed.  suppressed.  The -s
     option reduces the report to special files and files with
     set-user-ID mode; it is intended to discover concealed vio-
     lations of security policy.

     A file system may be specified.

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

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