[NTFSCLUSTER(8)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/NTFSCLUSTER/8/markdown)                         System Manager's Manual                        [NTFSCLUSTER(8)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/NTFSCLUSTER/8/markdown)



## 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
              Any files whose data is in this range of clusters will be displayed.

### -F --filename
              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
              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
              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@lists.sf.net>
