DESCRIPTION

17       ntfsls is used to list information about the  files  specified  by  the
18       PATH  option  (the  root  directory by default).  DEVICE is the special
19       file corresponding to the device (e.g /dev/hdXX) or an NTFS image file.

OPTIONS

22       Below is a summary of all the options that ntfsls accepts.  Nearly  all
23       options have two equivalent names.  The short name is preceded by - and
24       the long name is preceded by --.  Any single letter options, that don't
25       take  an  argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g.  -fv is
26       equivalent to -f -v.  Long named options  can  be  abbreviated  to  any
27       unique prefix of their name.
28
29       -a, --all
30              Display  all  files.  If this option is not specified file names
31              in the POSIX namespace will not be displayed.
32
33       -F, --classify
34              Append indicator (one of */=@|) to entries.
35
36       -f, --force
37              Force execution.  For example necessary to run on an NTFS parti‐
38              tion stored in a normal file.
39
40       -h, --help
41              Print the usage information of ntfsls and exit.
42
43       -i, --inode
44              Print inode number of each file.  This is the MFT reference num‐
45              ber in NTFS terminology.
46
47       -l, --long
48              Use a long listing format.
49
50       -p, --path PATH
51              The directory whose contents to list or the file (including  the
52              path) about which to display information.
53
54       -q, --quiet
55              Suppress some debug/warning/error messages.
56
57       -R, --recursive
58              Show  the  contents  of  all  directories  beneath the specified
59              directory.
60
61       -s, --system
62              Unless this options is specified, all  files  beginning  with  a
63              dollar sign character will not be listed as these files are usu‐
64              ally system files.
65
66       -v, --verbose
67              Display more debug/warning/error messages.
68
69       -V, --version
70              Print the version number of ntfsls and exit.
71
72       -x, --dos
73              Display short file names,  i.e.  files  in  the  DOS  namespace,
74              instead of long file names, i.e. files in the WIN32 namespace.
