NAME

ncheck (generic) - generate a list of path names vs i-numbers

SYNOPSIS

ncheck    [-F    FSType]    [-V]    [current_options]    [-o
specific_options] [special...]

DESCRIPTION

ncheck with no options generates a path-name vs. i-number list of all files on special. If special is not specified on the command line the list is generated for all specials in /etc/vfstab for entries which have a numeric fsckpass. special is a block special device on which the file system exists.

current_options are options supported by the s5-specific module of ncheck. Other FSTypes do not necessarily support these options. specific_options indicate suboptions specified in a comma-separated list of suboptions and/or keyword-attribute pairs for interpretation by the FSType-specific module of the command.

The options are:

-F Specify the FSType on which to operate. The FSType should either be specified here or be determinable from /etc/vfstab by finding an entry in the table that has a numeric fsckpass field and a matching special if specified.

-V Echo the complete command line, but do not execute the command. The command line is generated by using the options and arguments provided by the user and adding to them information derived from /etc/vfstab. This option should be used to verify and validate the command line.

-o used to specify FSType specific options if any.

NOTE

This command may not be supported for all FSTypes.
