 .SH OPTIONS
-Below is a summary of all the options that \fBntfsmount\fR accepts.
+\fBntfsmount\fR supports most of options that \fBmount\fR and \fBFUSE\fR
+accepts (see "man 8 mount" and FUSE documentation for them). Additionally
+\fBntfsmount\fR have some unique to it options, below is a summary of them.
+.TP
+.B silent, nosilent
+\fBsilent\fR option makes ntfsmount to do not return "Operation is not
+supported" error on chmod and chown operations (this option is on by default).
+\fBnosilent\fR cancels this.
+.TP
+.BI locale= value
+You can set locale with this option. It's useful if locale environment variables
+are not set before partitions from /etc/fstab had been mounted. Try submitting this option if you are experience problems with displaying national characters in filenames.
+.TP
+\fBuid=\fIvalue\fR, \fBgid=\fIvalue\fR
+Set the owner and the group of files and directories. The values are numerical.
+The defaults are the uid and gid of the current process.
+.TP
+\fBumask=\fIvalue\fR, \fBdmask=\fIvalue\fR, \fBfmask=\fIvalue\fR
+Set the bitmask of the file and directory permissions that are not present.
+The value is given in octal. Instead of specifying umask which applies both to
+files and directories, fmask applies only to files and dmask only to
+directories.
+.TP
+.B case_insensitive
+Make \fBntfsmount\fR treat filenames in POSIX names as case insensitive.
+See \fBFILENAME NAMESPACES\fR section for details.
 .TP
-.B uid=, gid=, umask=
-Provide default owner, group, and access mode mask.
-These options work as documented in mount(8).  By
-default, the files/directories are owned by user that mounted volume and
-he/she has read and write permissions, as well as
-browse permission for directories.  No one else has any
-access permissions.  I.e. the mode on all files is by
-default rw\-\-\-\-\-\-\- and for directories rwx\-\-\-\-\-\-, a
-consequence of the default fmask=0177 and dmask=0077.
-Using a umask of zero will grant all permissions to
-everyone, i.e. all files and directories will have mode
-rwxrwxrwx.
-.TP
-.B fmask=, dmask=
-Instead of specifying umask which applies both to
-files and directories, fmask applies only to files and
-mask only to directories.
-.TP
-.B show_sys_files
-If show_sys_files is specified, show the system files
-in directory listings.  Otherwise the default behaviour
-is to hide the system files.
-Note that even when show_sys_files is specified, "$MFT"
-may will not be visible due to bugs/mis\-features in glibc.
-Further, note that irrespective of show_sys_files, all
-files are accessible by name, i.e. you can always do
-"ls \-l '$UpCase'" for example to specifically show the
-system file containing the Unicode upcase table.
-.TP
-.B default_permissions
-By default FUSE doesn't check file access permissions, the
-filesystem is free to implement it's access policy or leave it to
-the underlying file access mechanism (e.g. in case of network
-filesystems).  This option enables permission checking, restricting
-access based on file mode.  This is option is usually useful
-together with the 'allow_other' mount option.
-.TP
-.B allow_other
-This option overrides the security measure restricting file access
-to the user mounting the filesystem.  This option is by default only
-allowed to root, but this restriction can be removed with a
-configuration option described in the previous section.
-.TP
-.B kernel_cache
-(NOTE: Only for FUSE 2.3.0, with FUSE >= 2.4.0 on by default)
-This option disables flushing the cache of the file contents on
-every open().  This should only be enabled on filesystems, where the
-file data is never changed externally (not through the mounted FUSE
-filesystem).  Thus it is not suitable for network filesystems and
-other "intermediate" filesystems.
-NOTE: if this option is not specified (and neither 'direct_io') data
-is still cached after the open(), so a read() system call will not
-always initiate a read operation.
-.TP
-.B large_read
-Issue large read requests.  This can improve performance for some
-filesystems, but can also degrade performance.  This option is only
-useful on 2.4.X kernels, as on 2.6 kernels requests size is
-automatically determined for optimum performance.
-.TP
-.B direct_io
-(NOTE: Only for FUSE 2.3.0)
-This option disables the use of page cache (file content cache) in
-the kernel for this filesystem.  This has several affects:
-- Each read() or write() system call will initiate one or more
-read or write operations, data will not be cached in the
-kernel.
-- The return value of the read() and write() system calls will
-correspond to the return values of the read and write
-operations.  This is useful for example if the file size is not
-known in advance (before reading it).
-.TP
-.B max_read=
-With this option the maximum size of read operations can be set.
-The default is infinite.  Note that the size of read requests is
-limited anyway to 32 pages (which is 128kbyte on i386).
+.B no_def_opts
+By default ntfsmount acts as some useful options were passed to it (you can get
+list of this options by running ntfsmount without any arguments). Submitting
+this option will cancel such behaviour.
+.TP
+.B noblkdev
+By default ntfsmount tries to mount block devices with blkdev FUSE option if it
+have enough privileges. Submit this option if blkdev mount does not work for
+you for some reasons.
 .TP
 .B force
 Force mount even if errors occurred. Use this option only if you know what
 are you doing and don't cry about data loss.
 .TP
-.B ro
-Mount filesystem read\-only.
-.TP
-.B no_def_opts
-By default ntfsmount acts as "default_permissions,allow_other" was passed to it,
-this option cancel this behaviour.
-.TP
-.B silent
-Do nothing on chmod and chown operations, but do not return error.
+.B relatime, norelatime
+Update inode access times relative to modify or change time.  Access
+time is only updated if the previous access time was earlier than the
+current modify or change time. (Similar to noatime, but doesn't break
+mutt or other applications that need to know if a file has been read
+since the last time it was modified.)
 .TP
-.B locale=
-You can set locale with this option. It's useful if locale enviroment variables
-are not set before partitions from /etc/fstab had been mounted.
-.TP
-.B streams_interface=
+.BI streams_interface= value
 This option controls how the user can access named data streams.  It can be set
-to, one of \fBnone\fR, \fBwindows\fR or \fBxattr\fR. If the option is set to
-\fBnone\fR, the user will have no access to the named data streams.  If it's set
-to \fBwindows\fR, then the user can access them just like in Windows (eg. cat
-file:stream). If it's set to \fBxattr\fR, then the named data streams are
-mapped to xattrs and user can manipulate them using \fB{get,set}fattr\fR
-utilities.

 .B no_detach
 Same as above but with less debug output.
+.SH FILENAME NAMESPACES
+There are exist several namespaces for filenames in NTFS: DOS, Win32 and POSIX.
+Names in DOS and Win32 namespaces are case insensitive, but names in POSIX
+namespace are case sensitive. By default windows creates filenames in DOS and
+Win32 namespaces (with exception for hard links), but ntfsmount always creates
+files in POSIX namespace. Note: you can create several files that differs only
+in case in one directory with ntfsmount, but windows applications may be
+confused by this.
 .SH DATA STREAMS
-All data on NTFS is stored in streams.  Every file has exactly one unnamed
-data stream and can have many named data streams.  The size of a file is the
-size of its unnamed data stream.  By default, \fBntfsmount\fR will only read
-the unnamed data stream.
+All data on NTFS is stored in streams.  Every file has exactly one unnamed data
+stream and can have many named data streams.  The size of a file is the size of
+its unnamed data stream.  Windows applications don't, consistently, allow you
+to read named data streams, so you are recommended to use tools like FAR, or
+utilities from Cygwin.

+By default or if "streams_interface=none" option was passed, \fBntfsmount\fR will only read the unnamed data stream.

+By using the option "streams_interface=windows", you will be able to read
 any named data streams, simply by specifying the stream's name after a colon.
-For example:
+Named data streams act like normals files, so you can read from them, write to
+them and even delete them (using rm). You can list all the named data streams
+a file has by getting the "ntfs.streams.list" extended attribute. Some examples:
 .RS
 .sp
 cat some.mp3:artist

+rm some.mp3:album
+.br

+.br

-.SH EXAMPLES
-Mount /dev/hda1 to /mnt/ntfs\-fuse using ntfsmount:
+If \fBstreams_interface\fR option is set to \fBxattr\fR, then the named data streams are mapped to xattrs and user can manipulate them using \fBgetfattr\fR and
+\fBsetfattr\fR utilities. Eg.:

-.B ntfsmount /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs\-fuse
-.sp

+.br
+getfattr -d some.mp3
 .RE
-Read\-only mount /dev/hda5 to /home/user/mnt and make user with uid 1000 to be
-owner of all files:
+.SH ALLOWED CHARACTERS
+Win32 does not allow characters like '<', '>', '*', '?' and so on in the
+filenames, but NTFS supports any characters except '\\0' (NULL) and '/'.  You
+can create filenames with any allowed by NTFS characters using ntfsmount, but
+aware, you will not be able to access files with denied by Win32 characters from
+windows.
+.SH ACCESS HANDLING AND SECURITY
+By default, files and directories are owned by the user and group of the
+mounting process and everybody has full read, write, execution and directory
+browsing permissions.  If you want to use permissions handling then use the
+\fBuid\fR and/or the \fBgid\fR options together with the \fBumask\fR or
+\fBfmask\fR and \fBdmask\fR options.
