System Administration Commands                             ff(1M)



NAME
     ff - list file names and statistics for a file system

SYNOPSIS
     ff [-F FSType] [-V] [generic_options] [-o specific_options] special...


DESCRIPTION
     ff prints the pathnames and inode numbers of  files  in  the
     file  system  which  resides  on the special device special.
     Other information about  the  files  may  be  printed  using
     options  described below.  Selection criteria may be used to
     instruct  ff to only print information for certain files. If
     no  selection  criteria  are  specified, information for all
     files considered will  be  printed  (the  default);  the  -i
     option  may be used to limit files to those whose inodes are
     specified.


     Output is sorted in  ascending  inode  number  order.    The
     default line produced by ff is:


     path-name i-number


     The maximum information the command will provide is:


     path-name i-number size uid

OPTIONS
     -F                 Specify the  FSType on which to  operate.
                        The   FSType  should  either be specified
                        here or be determinable from  /etc/vfstab
                        by matching the  special with an entry in
                        the    table,    or     by     consulting
                        /etc/default/fs.


     -V                 Echo the complete command  line,  but  do
                        not execute the command. The command line
                        is generated by  using  the  options  and
                        arguments provided by the user and adding
                        to   them   information   derived    from
                        /etc/vfstab.  This  option may be used to
                        verify and validate the command line.


     generic_options    Options  that  are  supported   by   most
                        FSType-specific  modules  of the command.
                        The following options are available:
