ntfsls is used to list information about the files specified by the PATHoption (the root directory by default). DEVICEis the special file corresponding to the device (e.g /dev/hdXX ) or an NTFS image file.

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

R -- . Any single letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g.

-fv is equivalent to

R 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.
