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 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 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.
