NAME
       ntfscluster  -  identify files in a specified region of an
       NTFS volume.

SYNOPSIS
       ntfscluster [ options ] device

DESCRIPTION
       ntfscluster has three modes of operation: info, sector and
       cluster.

   Info
       The  default  mode, info is currently not implemented.  It
       will display general infomation about the NTFS volume when
       it is working.

   Sector
       The  sector  mode  will	display a list of files that have
       data in the specified range of sectors.

   Cluster
       The cluster mode will display a list of	files  that  have
       data in the specified range of clusters.	 When the cluster
       size is one sector, this will be equivalent to the  sector
       mode of operation.

OPTIONS
       Below  is  a  summary  of all the options that ntfscluster
       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.

       -c range
       --cluster range
	      Any  files  whose data is in this range of clusters
	      will be displayed.

       -f
       --force
	      This will override some sensible defaults, such  as
	      not working with a mounted volume.  Use this option
	      with caution.

       --help Show a list of options with a brief description  of
	      each one.

       -i
       --info This option is not yet implemented.

       -q

       --quiet
	      Reduce  the  amount  of output to a minimum.  Natu-
	      rally, it doesn't make sense to combine this option
	      with

       -s
       --sector
	      Any  files  whose	 data is in this range of sectors
	      will be displayed.

       -v
       --verbose
	      Increase the  amount  of	output	that  ntfscluster
	      prints.

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

EXAMPLES
       Get some information about the volume /dev/hda1.

	      ntfscluster /dev/hda1

       Look for files in the first 500 clusters of /dev/hda1.

	      ntfscluster -c 0-500 /dev/hda1


BUGS
       The info mode isn't  implemented	 yet.	This  program  is
       quite limited, but it has no known bugs.	 If you find one,
       please	  send	   an	  email	     to	     <linux-ntfs-
       dev@lists.sourceforge.net>
