NTFS.UTIL(8)              BSD System Manager's Manual             NTFS.UTIL(8)

NAME
     ntfs.util -- NTFS file system utility

SYNOPSIS
     ntfs.util -k device

     ntfs.util -m device mountpoint mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4

     ntfs.util -p device mountflag1 mountflag2

     ntfs.util -u device mountpoint

DESCRIPTION
     The ntfs.util command supports the mounting, probing, and unmounting of NTFS file systems.

     Options:
           -k          Get the UUID key for the NTFS file system at device.
           -m          Mount the NTFS file system located on device onto mountpoint with the flags
                       mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4.
           -p          Probe the device for an NTFS file system using the flags mountflag1 mountflag2.  If
                       the probe is successful, i.e. the device contains a valid NTFS file system, its label
                       is printed to the standard output stream.
           -u          Unmount the NTFS file system located at device and mounted on mountpoint.

     The mountflags referenced above are:
           oo   mountflag1: removable or fixed
           oo   mountflag2: readonly or writeable
           oo   mountflag3: suid or nosuid
           oo   mountflag4: dev or nodev
