NAME
       ntfsls - list directory contents on an NTFS filesystem

SYNOPSIS
       ntfsls [options] device

       ntfsls  [  -a  | --all ] [ -F | --classify ] [ -f | --force ] [ -h | --help ] [ -i | --inode ] [ -l | --long ] [ -p |
       --path PATH ] [ -q | --quiet ] [ -s | --system ] [ -V | --version ] [ -v | --verbose ] [ -x | --dos ] device

DESCRIPTION
       ntfsls is used to list information about the files specified by the PATH option (the root directory by default).	 DE‐
       VICE 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 ntfsls and 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
	      Suppress some debug/warning/error messages.

       -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 ntfsls and 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.
