NAME

       xfs_bmap - print block mapping for an XFS file

SYNOPSIS

       xfs_bmap [ -adelpv ] [ -n num_extents ] file
       xfs_bmap -V

DESCRIPTION

       xfs_bmap  prints  the  map  of disk blocks used by files in an XFS filesystem.  The map lists each extent
       used by the file, as well as regions in the file that do not have any corresponding blocks (holes).  Each
       line of the listings takes the following form:

              extent: [startoffset..endoffset]: startblock..endblock

       Holes  are  marked by replacing the startblock..endblock with hole.  All the file offsets and disk blocks
       are in units of 512-byte blocks, no matter what the filesystem's block size is.

OPTIONS

       -a     If this option is specified, information about the file's attribute fork is printed instead of the
              default data fork.

       -e     If  this option is used, xfs_bmap obtains all delayed allocation extents, and does not flush dirty
              pages to disk before querying extent data. With the -v option, the flags column  will  show  which
              extents have not yet been allocated.

       -l     If this option is used, then

                   <nblocks>  blocks

              will be appended to each line.  nblocks is the length of the extent described on the line in units
              of 512-byte blocks.

              This flag has no effect if the -v option is used.

       -n num_extents
              If this option is given, xfs_bmap will display at most num_extents extents. In the absence of  -n,
              xfs_bmap will display all extents in the file.

       -p     If  this option is used, xfs_bmap obtains all unwritten (preallocated) extents that do not contain
              written  data.  With  the  -v  option,  the   flags   column   will   show   which   extents   are
              preallocated/unwritten.

       -v     Shows  verbose  information.  When  this  flag is specified, additional AG specific information is
              appended to each line in the following form:

                   agno (startagoffset..endagoffset) nblocks flags

              A second -v option will print out the flags legend.

       -V     Prints the version number and exits.
