   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  pre‐
   fix 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.
