<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>



<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i><b>ntfsdebug</b></i>
will efficiently extract all relevant metadata from an NTFS
volume and dump it to standard output. It works at disk
sector level and copies only the used data. Unused disk
space becomes zero. <b>ntfsdebug</b> can be useful to exact
the metadata snapshot of an NTFS file system for developers
to investigate and troubleshoot users&rsquo; issues using
the clone without the risk of destroying the original file
system.</p>

<h2>EXIT CODES
