ff(1M) System Administration Commands 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 con‐
sulting /etc/default/fs.
-V Echo the complete command line, but do not exe‐
cute 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-spe‐
cific 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
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.
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

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).)
