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

NAME
       xfs_ncheck - generate pathnames from i-numbers for XFS

SYNOPSIS
       xfs_ncheck [ -i ino ] ... [ -f ]	[ -s ] [ -l logdev ] device
       xfs_ncheck -V

DESCRIPTION
       xfs_ncheck  with	no -i arguments	generates an inode number and pathname
       list of all files on the	given filesystem. Names	of directory files are
       followed	by /..	The output is not sorted in any	particular order.  The
       filesystem to be	examined is specified by the  device  argument,	 which
       should  be  the	disk or	volume device for the filesystem.  Filesystems
       stored in files can also	be checked, using the -f flag.

OPTIONS
       -f	Specifies that the filesystem image to be processed is	stored
		in a regular file at device (see the mkfs.xfs -d file option).
		This  might  happen  if	an image copy of a filesystem has been
		made into an ordinary file.

       -l logdev
		Specifies the device where the filesystem's external  log  re-
		sides.	 Only for those	filesystems which use an external log.
		See the	mkfs.xfs -l option, and	refer to xfs(5)	for a detailed
		description of the XFS log.

       -s	Limits the report to special files and	files  with  setuserid
		mode.	This  option may be used to detect violations of secu-
		rity policy.

       -i ino	Limits the report to only those	files whose inode numbers fol-
		low.  May be given multiple times  to  select  multiple	 inode
		numbers.

       -V	Prints the version number and exits.

       If  the	filesystem is seriously	corrupted, or very busy	and looks like
       it is corrupt, a	message	of the form that would	be  generated  by  the
       xfs_db(8) "check" command may appear.

       xfs_ncheck is only useful with XFS filesystems.
