NAME

       ntfscluster - identify files in a specified region of an NTFS volume.

SYNOPSIS

       ntfscluster [options] device

DESCRIPTION

       ntfscluster has three modes of operation: info, sector and cluster.

   Info
       The  default  mode, info is currently not implemented.  It will display
       general information about the NTFS volume when it is working.

   Sector
       The sector mode will display a list of files  that  have  data  in  the
       specified range of sectors.

   Cluster
       The  cluster  mode  will  display a list of files that have data in the
       specified range of clusters.  When the cluster size is one sector, this
       will be equivalent to the sector mode of operation.

OPTIONS

       Below is a summary of all the options that ntfscluster 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.

       -c, --cluster RANGE
              Any files whose data is  in  this  range  of  clusters  will  be
              displayed.

       -F, --filename NAME
              Show information about this file.

       -f, --force
              This  will  override some sensible defaults, such as not working
              with a mounted volume.  Use this option with caution.

       -h, --help
              Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.

       -I, --inode NUM
              Show information about this inode.

       -i, --info
              This option is not yet implemented.

       -q, --quiet
              Reduce the amount of output to a minimum.  Naturally, it doesn’t
              make sense to combine this option with

       -s, --sector RANGE
              Any  files  whose  data  is  in  this  range  of sectors will be
              displayed.

       -v, --verbose
              Increase the amount of output that ntfscluster prints.

       -V, --version
              Show the version number, copyright and license for  ntfscluster.

EXAMPLES

       Get some information about the volume /dev/hda1.

              ntfscluster /dev/hda1

       Look for files in the first 500 clusters of /dev/hda1.

              ntfscluster -c 0-500 /dev/hda1

BUGS

       The info mode isn’t implemented yet.  ntfscluster is quite limited, but
       it has no known  bugs.   If  you  find  a  bug  please  send  an  email
       describing the problem to the development team:
       linux-ntfs-dev@lists.sourceforge.net
