NAME
       xfs_ncheck - generate pathnames from i-numbers for XFS

SYNOPSIS
       xfs_ncheck [ -i ino ] ... [ -f ] [ -s ] [ -l logdev ] device

DESCRIPTION
       xfs_ncheck  with  no -i arguments generates an inode number and pathname list of all files on the given filesystem. Names
       of directory files are followed by /..  The output is not sorted in any particular order.  The filesystem to be  examined
       is specified by the device argument, which should be the disk or volume device for the filesystem.  Filesystems stored in
       files can also be checked, using the -f flag.

OPTIONS
       -f       Specifies that the filesystem image to be processed is stored in a regular file at device (see the  mkfs.xfs  -d
                file option). This might happen if an image copy of a filesystem has been made into an ordinary file.

       -l logdev
                Specifies  the  device  where  the  filesystem's  external log resides.  Only for those filesystems which use an
                external log. See the mkfs.xfs -l option, and refer to xfs(5) for a detailed description of the XFS log.

       -s       Limits the report to special files and files with setuserid mode.  This option may be used to detect  violations
                of security policy.

       -i ino   Limits  the report to only those files whose inode numbers follow.  May be given multiple times to select multi-
                ple inode numbers.

       If the filesystem is seriously corrupted, or very busy and looks like it is corrupt, a message of the form that would  be
       generated by xfs_check(8) may appear.

       xfs_ncheck is only useful with XFS filesystems.
