NAME
       ntfsls - list directory contents on an NTFS filesystem

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.
