ncheck(ADM)
ncheck --
generate names from inode numbers
Syntax
/etc/ncheck
[ -asdt ]
[ -i number ... ]
[ filesystem ... ]
Description
ncheck generates a pathname and inode number
list of all files in the specified filesystems.
If you do not specify a filesystem, ncheck
examines each of the filesystems specified in /etc/checklist.
ncheck appends the two characters ``/.'' to directory names.
The following options are available:
-a-
Allow printing of the names . and .. which
are suppressed by default.
-d-
modifies -s and -t flags to report
directories as well as files that match.
-i number ...-
Limit the report to only those files with the specified
inode numbers.
-s-
Limit the report to special files and files with
set-user-ID (setuid) or set-group-ID
(setgid) mode set.
This can be used to detect violations of security policy.
-t-
reports on files with the "sticky" mode set.
Examples
Limit arguments can be combined (acting as logical "OR"). For
example, this command reports device files, files and directories,
with setuid, setgid, or sticky modes, and inode number 45:
ncheck -dst -i 45
Diagnostics
If the filesystem structure is damaged, ``??'' denotes the
``parent'' of a parentless file, and a pathname beginning with
``...'' denotes a loop.
Limitations
No more than 20 filesystems may be checked.
See also ``Limitations'' under
mount(ADM).
Files
/etc/checklist-
default list of filesystems to check
/etc/fscmd.d/fstyp-
directory containing programs for each filesystem type;
ncheck invokes the appropriate binary
