NTFSPROGS-PLUS(8)

✨ NTFSPROGS-PLUS ✨

okay bestie, welcome to ntfsprogs-plus — that's section 8 of the System Manager's Manual, so you know it's the big-kid sysadmin stuff 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ntfsprogs-plus — tools for doing neat things with NTFS.

🦋 OVERVIEW 🦋

so like. ntfsprogs-plus is a whole suite of NTFS utilities built around a shared library, and it's genuinely giving main character energy ✨ The tools are available for free and come with full source code, no gatekeeping here 🫶

it's forked from the ntfs-3g project by borrowing some essential utilities for filesystem — and by "essential" we mean the making, checking, repairing, dumping and viewing of filesystems. the whole glow-up basically 💖

🎀 TOOLS 🎀

here's the friend group, one by one, no cap:

• mkntfs(8) — Create an NTFS filesystem. ✨ baby's first filesystem, iconic
• ntfsck(8) — Check and repair an NTFS filesystem. It's new utility implemented differently from ntfsprogs. 👑 the new girl on the block and she does NOT do things the old way
• ntfsclone(8) — Efficiently clone, backup, restore or rescue NTFS. 🦋 the way she does all four of those... obsessed
• ntfsresize(8) — Resize an NTFS filesystem without data loss. 🔥 no data loss, we love a queen who respects your data
• ntfscluster(8) — Locate the files which use the given sectors or clusters. 🕵️‍♀️ she finds them. literally every time
• ntfsinfo(8) — Show information about NTFS or one of the files or directories within it. 💜 the gossip source, but make it filesystem metadata
• ntfslabel(8) — Show, or set, an NTFS filesystem's volume label. 🎀 read it OR change it, she's flexible like that
