+.SH NAME
+xfs_ncheck \- generate pathnames from i-numbers for XFS
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B xfs_ncheck
+[
+.B \-i
+.I ino
+] ... [
+.B \-f
+] [
+.B \-s
+] [
+.B \-l
+.I logdev
+]
+.I device
+.br
+.B xfs_ncheck \-V
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B xfs_ncheck
+with no
+.B \-i
+arguments generates an inode number and pathname list of all
+files on the given filesystem. Names of directory files are followed by
+.BR /. .
+The output is not sorted in any particular order.
+The filesystem to be examined is specified by the
+.I device
+argument, which should be the disk or volume device for the filesystem.
+Filesystems stored in files can also be checked, using the
+.B \-f
+flag.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP 0.9i
+.B \-f
+Specifies that the filesystem image to be processed is stored in a
+regular file at
+.I device
+(see the
+.B mkfs.xfs \-d
+.I \f2file\f1
+option). This might happen if an image copy
+of a filesystem has been made into an ordinary file.
+.TP
+.BI \-l " logdev"
+Specifies the device where the filesystem's external log resides.
+Only for those filesystems which use an external log. See the
+.B mkfs.xfs \-l
+option, and refer to
+.BR xfs (5)
+for a detailed description of the XFS log.
+.TP
+.B \-s
+Limits the report to special files and files with setuserid mode.
+This option may be used to detect violations of security policy.
+.TP
+.BI \-i " ino"
+Limits the report to only those files whose inode numbers follow.
+May be given multiple times to select multiple inode numbers.
+.TP
+.B \-V
+Prints the version number and exits.
+.PP
+If the filesystem is seriously corrupted, or very busy and looks
+like it is corrupt, a message of the form that would be generated by the
+.BR xfs_db (8)
+"check" command may appear.
+.PP
+.B xfs_ncheck
+is only useful with XFS filesystems.
