ncheck(1M)

ncheck -- generate a list of pathnames vs i-numbers (generic)

Synopsis

/u95/bin/ncheck [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options]
[special . . .]

Description

ncheck with no options generates a pathname vs. i-number list of all files on special. If special is not specified on the command line the list is generated for all specials in /etc/vfstab for entries which have a numeric ``fsckpass''. special is a character special device on which the filesystem exists.

current_options are options supported by the s5-specific module of ncheck. Other FSTypes do not necessarily support these options. specific_options indicate suboptions specified in a comma-separated list of suboptions and/or keyword-attribute pairs for interpretation by the FSType-specific module of the command.

The options are:

-F

Specify the FSType on which to operate. If -F FSType is not specified it will be determined by finding an entry in /etc/vfstab that has a numeric ``fsckpass'' field and a matching special if specified. If this fails, heuristics similiar to those used by fstyp(1M) are used to determine the file system type.

NOTE: If the FSType is known beforehand, use the -F option. This command executes faster if it is not required to autodetect file system types.

-V

Echo the complete command line, but do not execute the command. The command line is generated by using the options and arguments provided by the user and adding to them information derived from /etc/vfstab. This option should be used to verify and validate the command line.

-o

used to specify FSType specific options if any.
