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
       directory 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
              terminology.

       -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.
