ncheck(8)
NAME
  ncheck - lists i-number or tag and path name for files in a local file
  system.

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/ncheck [-i numbers] [-asm] file_spec	  [file_spec...]

PARAMETERS
  file_spec
	  Specifies one or more file systems.  Specify any file system by
	  entering its full path name or its mount point. The full path name
	  is the name entered in the file-spec field of the file system's
	  entry in the /etc/fstab file.	 The mount point is the name entered
	  in the mnt_point field of the file system's entry in the /etc/fstab
	  file.

	  You can also specify a UFS file system by entering the name of its
	  device special file.	For example: /dev/disk/dsk3c.

	  You can also specify an AdvFS fileset by entering the name of the
	  file domain, a pound sign (#) character, and the name of the
	  fileset.  For example: root_domain#root.

FLAGS
  -a	  Includes in the list the path names . (dot) and .. (dot dot), which
	  are ordinarily suppressed.

  -i numbers
	  Lists only those files with the specified i-numbers (UFS) or tags
	  (AdvFS).

  -m	  Includes in the list the mode, UID, and GID of the files.  To use
	  this flag you must also specify either the -i or the -s flag on the
	  command line.

  -s	  Lists only the special files and files with set-user-ID mode.

DESCRIPTION
  The ncheck command with no flags generates a list of all files on every
  specified file system.  The list includes the path name and the
  corresponding i-number or tag of each file.  Each directory file name in
  the list is followed by a /. (slash dot).  Use the available flags to
  customize the list to include or exclude specific types of files.

  The files are listed in order by i-number or tag.  To sort the list in a
  more useful format, pipe the output to the sort command.



NOTES
  The term file_spec represents either a UFS file system or an AdvFS fileset.

  To uncover concealed violations of security policy, that is, the
  inappropriate use of the set-user-ID mode, issue the command with the -s
  flag to list only special files and files with set-user-ID mode.

RESTRICTIONS
  You must be the root user to use this command.

  The ncheck command checks the /etc/fstab file for the specified domain and
  file system entry.  If there is no entry in /etc/fstab for the specified
  file system, an error message is displayed to	 indicate that the file does
  not exist.

DIAGNOSTICS
  When the file system structure is improper, ?? (question mark question
  mark) denotes the parent of a parentless file.  A path name beginning with
  ... (dot dot dot) denotes a loop.

ERRORS
  cannot ncheck "nnn" file system
  The ncheck command can be used only for checking local file systems.	The
  "nnn" string identifies the file system type.

FILES
  /usr/sbin/ncheck
	    Specifies the command path
