ncheck -- Command Print file names corresponding to i-node ncheck [ -i number ... ] [ -as ] filesystem ... An i-number identifies an i-node. ncheck generates a list of file names by i-number for each filesystem, which should be the name of a device special file that contains a proper COHERENT file system. Using the raw device generally decreases the time ncheck requires to do its work. The output is in the unsorted traversal order of the file system hierarchy. ncheck distinguishes directories from files by suffixing `/.' to directory names. Under the -i option, ncheck prints the file name corresponding to each i- number number in the given list. Under the -a option, ncheck prints only the names of special files and set user-ID mode files; this option allows the system administrator to ascertain quickly whether these files represent possible security breaches. See Also commands, i-node Diagnostics ncheck appends `??' to the generated file name if it cannot find the proper parent structure while retrieving the file-name information. It represents any loops detected in the file name by the characters `...'. Extremely addled file systems may generate other reasonably self-explanatory diagnostics.
