ntfsinfo - dump a file's attributes
ntfsinfo [
options]
device
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.
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.
