FF(1M)FF(1M)NAMEff - list file names and statistics for a file system
SYNOPSISff [-F FSType] [-V] [generic_options] [-o specific_options] special...
DESCRIPTIONff 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 cri‐
teria 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 generated 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 writ‐
ten 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 modi‐
fied more recently than the argu‐
ment 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 sepa‐
rated (without spaces) list of suboptions and key‐
word-attribute pairs for interpretation by the
FSType-specific module of the command.
OPERANDS
special
A special device.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of ff when encoun‐
tering 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

NOTES
This command may not be supported for all FSTypes.
The -a, -m, and -c flags examine the st_atime, st_mtime, and st_ctime
fields of the stat structure respectively. (See stat(2).)
