ncheck(8)
NAME
  ncheck - lists i-number and path name for all files in a file system.

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/ncheck [-i numbers] [-asm] filesystem ...

PARAMETERS
  filesystem
	  Specifies one or more file systems.  Specify any file system by
	  entering its full path name.	The full path name is the file
	  system's mount point in the /etc/fstab file.	You can also specify
	  a UFS file system by entering the name of its device special file.
	  For example: /dev/rrz3c.
	  You can also specify an AdvFS fileset by entering the name of the
	  file domain, a pound sign (#) character, and the name of the
	  fileset.  For example: root_domain#root.

FLAGS
  -a	  Includes in the list the path names . (dot) and .. (dot dot), which
	  are ordinarily suppressed.

  -i numbers
	  Lists only those files with the specified i-numbers (UFS) or tags
	  (AdvFS).

  -m	  Includes in the list the mode, UID, and GID of the files.  To use
	  this flag you must also specify either the -i or the -s flag on the
	  command line.

  -s	  Lists only the special files and files with set-user-ID mode.

DESCRIPTION
  The ncheck command with no flags generates a list of all files on every
  specified file system.  The list includes the path name and the
  corresponding i-number or tag of each file.  Each directory file name in
  the list is followed by a /. (slash dot).  Use the available flags to
  customize the list to include or exclude specific types of files.

  The files are listed in order by i-number or tag.  To sort the list in a
  more useful format, pipe the output to the sort command.

NOTES
  The term file system represents either a UFS file system or an AdvFS
  fileset.

  To uncover concealed violations of security policy, that is, the
  inappropriate use of the set-user-ID mode, issue the command with the -s
  flag to list only special files and files with set-user-ID mode.

RESTRICTIONS
  You must be the root user to use this command.


  The ncheck command checks the /etc/fstab file for the specified domain and
  file system entry.  If there is no entry in /etc/fstab for the specified
  file system, an error message is displayed to	 indicate that the file does
  not exist.

DIAGNOSTICS
  When the file system structure is improper, ?? (question mark question
  mark) denotes the parent of a parentless file.  A path name beginning with
  ... (dot dot dot) denotes a loop.

FILES
  /usr/sbin/ncheck
	    Specifies the command path
