SYNOPSIS

9       ntfsinfo [options] device
10

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

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.
23
24       -F, --file FILE
25              Show information about this file
26
27       -f, --force
28              This will override some sensible defaults, such as not overwrit‐
29              ing an existing file.  Use this option with caution.

31       -h, --help
32              Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.
