NAME
       ntfscat - concatenate files and print them on the standard
       output

SYNOPSIS
       ntfscat [ options ] device file

DESCRIPTION
       ntfscat will read a file from an NTFS volume  and  display
       the contents on the standard output.

       The case of the filename passed to ntfscat is ignored.

OPTIONS
       Below  is  a  summary  of  all  the  options  that ntfscat
       accepts.	 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  abbre-
       viated to any unique prefix of their name.

       -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.

       -q
       --quiet
	      Suppress some debug/warning/error messages.

       -V
       --version
	      Show the version number, copyright and license ntf-
	      scat.

       -v
       --vebose
	      Display more debug/warning/error messages.

EXAMPLES
       Display the contents of a file in the root of an NTFS vol-
       ume.

	      ntfscat /dev/hda1 boot.ini

       Display the contents of a file in  a  subdirectory  of  an
       NTFS volume.
