Below is a summary of all the options that ntfsls accepts. Nearly all options have two equivalent names.
The short name is preceded by - and the long name is preceded by --. Any single letter options, that
don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g. -fv is equivalent to -f-v. Long
named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name.
-a, --all
Display all files. If this option is not specified file names in the POSIX namespace will not be
displayed.
-F, --classify
Append indicator (one of */=@|) to entries.
-f, --force
Force execution. For example necessary to run on an NTFS partition stored in a normal file.
-h, --help
Print the usage information of ntfsls and exit.
-i, --inode
Print inode number of each file. This is the MFT reference number in NTFS terminology.
-l, --long

The directory whose contents to list or the file (including the path) about which to display
information.
-q, --quiet

-R, --recursive

-s, --system

-V, --version

-x, --dos
Display short file names, i.e. files in the DOS namespace, instead of long file names, i.e. files
in the WIN32 namespace.
