.SH DESCRIPTION
.B ntfsls
is used to list information about the files specified by the
.I PATH
option (the root directory by default).
.I DEVICE
is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g
.IR /dev/hdXX )
or an NTFS image file.
.SH OPTIONS
Below is a summary of all the options that
.B ntfsls
accepts.  Nearly all options have two equivalent names.  The short name is
preceded by
.B \-
and the long name is preceded by
.BR \-\- .
Any single letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a
single command, e.g.
.B \-fv
is equivalent to
.BR "\-f \-v" .
Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name.
