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:

           -I    Do not print the i-node number after  each  path
                 name.

           -l    Generate a supplementary list of all path  names
                 for multiply-linked files.

           -p prefix
                 The specified prefix will be added to each  gen-
                 erated path name. The default is `.' (dot).

           -s    Print the file size, in bytes, after  each  path
                 name.

           -u    Print the owner's login  name  after  each  path
                 name.

           -a -n Select if the file has been accessed in n days.

           -m -n Select if the file has been written  or  created
                 in n days.

           -c -n Select if file's status has been  changed  in  n
                 days.

           -n file
                 Select  if  the  file  has  been  modified  more
                 recently than the argument file.

           -i i-node-list
                 Generate names for only those i-nodes  specified
                 in i-node-list. i-node-list is a list of numbers
                 separated  by  commas   (with   no   intervening
                 spaces).

     -o    Specify  FSType-specific options in a comma  separated
           (without  spaces)  list  of  suboptions  and  keyword-
           attribute pairs  for  interpretation  by  the  FSType-
           specific module of the command.

USAGE

     See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior  of  ff
     when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2
    **31 bytes).


FILES

     /etc/default/fs
           default local file system type. Default values can  be
           set  for  the  following flags in /etc/default/fs. For
           example: LOCAL=ufs

           LOCAL The default partition for a command if no FSType
                 is specified.

     /etc/vfstab
           list of default parameters for each file system
