Ntfscmp can be used +for volume verification however its primary purpose was to be an efficient +development tool, used to quickly locate, identify and check the correctness +of the metadata changes made to NTFS. + +If one is interested only in the NTFS metadata changes then it could be useful +to compare the metadata images created by +using the --metadata option of +.BR ntfsclone (8) +to eliminate the usually uninteresting timestamp changes. + +The terse output of +.B ntfscmp +is intentional because the provided information is enough in each case +to determine the exact differences. This can be achieved, for instance, +if one compares the verbose outputs of +.BR ntfsinfo (8) +for each reported inodes by the +.BR diff (1) +utility. +.SH OPTIONS +Below is a summary of the options that +.B ntfscmp +accepts. +.TP +\fB\-P\fR, \fB\-\-no\-progress\-bar\fR +Don't show progress bars. +.TP +\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR +More informational output. +.TP +\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR +Display help and exit. +.SH EXIT CODES +The exit code is 0 on success, non\-zero otherwise. +.SH KNOWN ISSUES +No problem is known.
