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.
