ff(1M)


ff -- list filenames and statistics for a filesystem (generic)

Synopsis

ff [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options] special . . .

Description

ff reads the files and directories of the special file. I-node data is saved for files which match the selection criteria which is either the inode number and/or inode age. Output consists of the path name and other file information. Output fields are positional. The output is produced in i-node order. The default line produced by ff is:
   path-name i-number
current_options are options supported by the s5-specific module of ff. 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.

Command options


-F
Specify the FSType on which to operate. If -F FSType is not specified it is determined by matching the special with an entry in /etc/vfstab. 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
Specify FSType-specific options.

Files


/etc/vfstab
list of default parameters for each filesystem
