12 ntfsinfo will dump the attributes of inode inode-number or the file
13 path-filename and/or information about the mft ( -m option). Run ntfs‐
14 info without arguments for a full list of options.
15
17 Below is a summary of all the options that ntfsinfo accepts. Nearly
18 all options have two equivalent names. The short name is preceded by -
19 and the long name is preceded by --. Any single letter options, that
20 don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g.
21 -fv is equivalent to -f -v. Long named options can be abbreviated to
22 any unique prefix of their name.
