.SH DESCRIPTION

.LP
The \fBntfsinfo\fR utility dumps the attributes of inode \fIinode-number\fR or
the file \fIpath-filename\fR and/or information about the MFT (\fB-m\fR
option). Run \fBntfsinfo\fR without arguments for a full list of options.
.SH OPTIONS

Supported options are listed below. Most options have both single-letter and
full-name forms. Multiple single-letter options that do not take an argument
can be combined. For example, \fB-fv\fR is the equivalent of \fB-f\fR \fB-v\fR.
A full-name option can be abbreviated to a unique prefix of its name.
