description

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 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.
