6 ff - list file names and statistics for a file system
7
9 ff [-F FSType] [-V] [generic_options] [-o specific_options] special...
10
13 ff prints the pathnames and inode numbers of files in the file system
14 which resides on the special device special. Other information about
15 the files may be printed using options described below. Selection cri‐
16 teria may be used to instruct ff to only print information for certain
17 files. If no selection criteria are specified, information for all
18 files considered will be printed (the default); the -i option may be
19 used to limit files to those whose inodes are specified.
20 Output is sorted in ascending inode number order. The default line
23 produced by ff is:
24 path-name i-number
27 The maximum information the command will provide is:
30 path-name i-number size uid
33
35 -F Specify the FSType on which to operate. The FSType
36 should either be specified here or be determinable
37 from /etc/vfstab by matching the special with an
38 entry in the table, or by consulting
39 /etc/default/fs.
40 -V Echo the complete command line, but do not execute
43 the command. The command line is generated by using
44 the options and arguments provided by the user and
45 adding to them information derived from
46 /etc/vfstab. This option may be used to verify and
47 validate the command line.
48 generic_options Options that are supported by most FSType-specific
51 modules of the command. The following options are
52 available:
53 -I Do not print the i-node number
55 after each path name.
56 -l Generate a supplementary list of
59 all path names for multiply-linked
60 files.
61 -p prefix The specified prefix will be added
64 to each generated path name. The
65 default is `.' (dot).
66 -s Print the file size, in bytes,
69 after each path name.
70 -u Print the owner's login name after
73 each path name.
74 -a -n Select if the file has been
77 accessed in n days.
78 -m -n Select if the file has been writ‐
81 ten or created in n days.
82 -c -n Select if file's status has been
85 changed in n days.
86 -n file Select if the file has been modi‐
89 fied more recently than the argu‐
90 ment file.
91 -i i-node-list Generate names for only those i-
94 nodes specified in i-node-list. i-
95 node-list is a list of numbers
96 separated by commas (with no
97 intervening spaces).
98 -o Specify FSType-specific options in a comma sepa‐
102 rated (without spaces) list of suboptions and key‐
103 word-attribute pairs for interpretation by the
104 FSType-specific module of the command.
105
108 special A special device.
109
112 See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of ff when encoun‐
113 tering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).
114
116 /etc/default/fs default local file system type. Default values can
117 be set for the following flags in /etc/default/fs.
118 For example: LOCAL=ufs
119 LOCAL The default partition for a command if no
121 FSType is specified.
122 /etc/vfstab list of default parameters for each file system
126
129 See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
130 ┌─────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────┐
135 │ ATTRIBUTE TYPE │ ATTRIBUTE VALUE │
136 ├─────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┤
137 │Availability │SUNWcsu │

143
145 This command may not be supported for all FSTypes.
146 The -a, -m, and -c flags examine the st_atime, st_mtime, and st_ctime
149 fields of the stat structure respectively. (See stat(2).)
