Overview
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 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
ntfslsand 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 -

-
-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
ntfslsand 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.
