## 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.
