NAME
ntfsinfo - dump a file's attributes

SYNOPSIS
ntfsinfo [options] device

DESCRIPTION
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.

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 com-
mand, 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.
