The file systems can be on block devices or +in image files. \fBntfscmp\fR can be used for volume verification. However, its +primary purpose is to be an efficient development tool, used to quickly locate, +identify, and check the correctness of the metadata changes made to NTFS. +.sp +.LP +If one is interested only in the NTFS metadata changes, it can be useful to +compare the metadata images created by using the \fB--metadata\fR option of +\fBntfsclone\fR(1M) to eliminate the usually uninteresting timestamp changes. +.sp +.LP +The terse output of \fBntfscmp\fR is intentional, because the provided +information is sufficient to determine exact differences. More copious output +can be obtained by using \fBdiff\fR(1) to compare the verbose output of +\fBntfsinfo\fR(1M) for each reported inode. +.SH OPTIONS +.sp +.LP +Supported options are listed below.
