## NAME
       ntfsinfo - dump a file's attributes

## SYNOPSIS
       **ntfsinfo** [_options_] _device_

## DESCRIPTION
       **ntfsinfo**  will dump the attributes of inode _inode-number_ or the file _path-filename_ and/or in‐
       formation about the mft ( _-m_ option).  Run ntfsinfo without arguments for a full list of  op‐
       tions.

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

### -F --file
              Show information about this file

### -f --force
              This  will  override some sensible defaults, such as not overwriting an existing file.
              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.

### -m --mft
              Show information about the volume.

### -q --quiet
              Produce less output.

### -t --notime
              Do not display timestamps in the output.

### -v --verbose
              Increase the amount of output that **ntfsinfo** prints.

### -V --version
              Show the version number, copyright and license.
