NAME

6       ntfscluster - identify files in a specified region of an NTFS volume.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ntfscluster [options] device
10

DESCRIPTION

12       ntfscluster has three modes of operation: info, sector and cluster.
13
14   Info
15       The  default  mode, info is currently not implemented.  It will display
16       general information about the NTFS volume when it is working.
17
18   Sector
19       The sector mode will display a list of files  that  have  data  in  the
20       specified range of sectors.
21
22   Cluster
23       The  cluster  mode  will  display a list of files that have data in the
24       specified range of clusters.  When the cluster size is one sector, this
25       will be equivalent to the sector mode of operation.
26

OPTIONS

28       Below is a summary of all the options that ntfscluster accepts.  Nearly
29       all options have two equivalent names.  The short name is preceded by -
30       and  the  long name is preceded by --.  Any single letter options, that
31       don't take an argument, can be combined into  a  single  command,  e.g.
32       -fv  is  equivalent to -f -v.  Long named options can be abbreviated to
33       any unique prefix of their name.
34
35       -c, --cluster RANGE
36              Any files whose data is in this range of clusters will  be  dis‐
37              played.
38
39       -F, --filename NAME
40              Show information about this file.
41
42       -f, --force
43              This  will  override some sensible defaults, such as not working
44              with a mounted volume.  Use this option with caution.
45
46       -h, --help
47              Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.
48
49       -I, --inode NUM
50              Show information about this inode.
51
52       -i, --info
53              This option is not yet implemented.
54
55       -q, --quiet
56              Reduce the amount of output to a minimum.  Naturally, it doesn't
57              make sense to combine this option with --verbose
58
59       -s, --sector RANGE
60              Any  files  whose  data is in this range of sectors will be dis‐
61              played.
62
63       -v, --verbose
64              Increase the amount of output that ntfscluster prints.
65
66       -V, --version
67              Show the version number, copyright and license for ntfscluster.

EXAMPLES

70       Get some information about the volume /dev/hda1.
71
72              ntfscluster /dev/hda1
73
74       Look for files in the first 500 clusters of /dev/hda1.
75
76              ntfscluster -c 0-500 /dev/hda1

82       ing the problem to the development team:
