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 argu‐
       ment, 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 --ver‐
	      bose

       -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:
       ntfs-3g-devel@lists.sf.net
