NTFSCLUSTER(8)		     System Manager's Manual		  NTFSCLUSTER(8)

NAME
     ntfscluster - identify files in a specified region of an NTFS volume.

SYNOPSIS
     ntfscluster [options] device

DESCRIPTION
     ntfscluster has three modes of operation: info, sector and cluster.

   Info
     The  default mode, info is currently not implemented.  It will display gen-
     eral information about the NTFS volume when it is working.

   Sector
     The sector mode will display a list of files that have data in  the  speci-
     fied range of sectors.

   Cluster
     The  cluster mode will display a list of files that have data in the speci-
     fied range of clusters.  When the cluster size is one sector, this will  be
     equivalent to the sector mode of operation.

OPTIONS
     Below is a summary of all the options that ntfscluster accepts.  Nearly all
     options have two equivalent names.  The short name is preceded by - and the
     long name is preceded by --.  Any single letter options, that don't take an
     argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g.  -fv is equivalent to
     -f -v.  Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their
     name.

     -c, --cluster RANGE
	    Any files whose data is in this range of clusters will be displayed.

     -F, --filename NAME
	    Show information about this file.

     -f, --force
	    This  will override some sensible defaults, such as not working with
	    a mounted volume.  Use this option with caution.

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

     -I, --inode NUM
	    Show information about this inode.

     -i, --info
	    This option is not yet implemented.

     -q, --quiet
	    Reduce the amount of output to a  minimum.	 Naturally,  it  doesn't
	    make sense to combine this option with --verbose

     -s, --sector RANGE
	    Any files whose data is in this range of sectors will be displayed.

     -v, --verbose
	    Increase the amount of output that ntfscluster prints.

     -V, --version
	    Show the version number, copyright and license for ntfscluster.

EXAMPLES
     Get some information about the volume /dev/hda1.

	    ntfscluster /dev/hda1

     Look for files in the first 500 clusters of /dev/hda1.

	    ntfscluster -c 0-500 /dev/hda1

BUGS
     The  info mode isn't implemented yet.  ntfscluster is quite limited, but it
     has no known bugs.  If you find a bug please send an email  describing  the
     problem to the development team:
     ntfs-3g-devel@lists.sf.net
