NAME
ntfsinfo - dump a file's attributes
SYNOPSIS
ntfsinfo
[options] device
DESCRIPTION
ntfsinfo
will dump the attributes of inode
inode-number
or the file
path-filename
and/or information about the mft (
-m
option).
Run ntfsinfo without arguments for a full list of options.
OPTIONS
Below is a summary of all the options that
ntfsinfo
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.
-F, --file FILE
Show information about this file
-f, --force
This will override some sensible defaults, such as not overwriting an existing
file. 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.
-m, --mft
Show information about the volume.
-q, --quiet
Produce less output.
-t, --notime
Do not display timestamps in the output.
-v, --verbose
Increase the amount of output that
ntfsinfo
prints.
-V, --version
Show the version number, copyright and license.
