ntfsinfo − show NTFS volume, file, inode, attribute information
ntfsinfo [options] device
ntfsinfo will show the attributes of inode inode−number or the file path−filename and/or information about the mft with the −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.
