## NAME
       ntfsls - list directory contents on an NTFS filesystem

## SYNOPSIS
       **ntfsls** [_options_] _device_

       **ntfsls** [ **-a** | **--all** ] [ **-F** | **--classify** ] [ **-f** | **--force** ] [ **-h** | **--help** ] [ **-i** | **--inode** ] [
### -l --long -p --path -q --quiet -s --system -V --version -v
       | **--verbose** ] [ **-x** | **--dos** ] _device_

## DESCRIPTION
       **ntfsls** is used to list information about the files specified by the _PATH_ option (the root di‐
       rectory by default).  _DEVICE_ is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g  _/dev/hdXX_)
       or an NTFS image file.

## OPTIONS
       Below  is  a  summary  of  all  the options that **ntfsls** 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.

### -a --all
              Display  all files.  If this option is not specified file names in the POSIX namespace
              will not be displayed.

### -F --classify
              Append indicator (one of */=@|) to entries.

### -f --force
              Force execution.  For example necessary to run on an NTFS partition stored in a normal
              file.

### -h --help
              Print the usage information of **ntfsls** and exit.

### -i --inode
              Print  inode  number of each file.  This is the MFT reference number in NTFS terminol‐
              ogy.

### -l --long
              Use a long listing format.

### -p --path
              The directory whose contents to list or the file (including the path) about  which  to
              display information.

### -q --quiet
              Suppress some debug/warning/error messages.

### -R --recursive
              Show the contents of all directories beneath the specified directory.

### -s --system
              Unless  this  options  is  specified, all files beginning with a dollar sign character
              will not be listed as these files are usually system files.

### -v --verbose
              Display more debug/warning/error messages.

### -V --version
              Print the version number of **ntfsls** and exit.

### -x --dos
              Display short file names, i.e. files in the DOS namespace, instead of long file names,
              i.e. files in the WIN32 namespace.
