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 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 clus‐
       ters.  When the cluster size is one sector, this will be equivalent to the sector mode of op‐
       eration.

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 AT lists.net
