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 general information
about the NTFS volume when it is working.

Sector
The sector mode will display a list of files that have data in the specified range of sec-
tors.

Cluster
The cluster mode will display a list of files that have data in the specified 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 vol-
ume. 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 com-
bine 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:
