Here's the man page: (man mount_ntfs)

MOUNT_NTFS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_NTFS(8)

NAME
mount_ntfs -- mount an NTFS file system

SYNOPSIS
mount_ntfs [-a] [-s] [-u uid] [-g gid] [-m mask] special node

DESCRIPTION
The mount_ntfs utility attaches the NTFS file system residing on the
device special to the global file system namespace at the location indi-
cated by node. This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot
time, but can be used by any user to mount an NTFS file system on any
directory that they own (provided, of course, that they have appropriate
access to the device that contains the file system).

The options are as follows:

-a Force behaviour to return MS-DOS 8.3 names also on readdir().

-s Make name lookup case sensitive.

-u uid Set the owner of the files in the file system to uid. The
default owner is the owner of the directory on which the file
system is being mounted.

-g gid Set the group of the files in the file system to gid. The
default group is the group of the directory on which the file
system is being mounted.

-m mask
Specify the maximum file permissions for files in the file sys-
tem.

FEATURES
NTFS file attributes are accessed in following way:

foo[[:ATTRTYPE]:ATTRNAME]

`ATTRTYPE' is one of the identifiers listed in $AttrDef file of volume.
Default is $DATA. `ATTRNAME' is an attribute name. Default is none.

EXAMPLES
To mount an ntfs volume located in /dev/ad1s1:

# mount_ntfs /dev/ad1s1 /mnt

To get the volume name (in Unicode):

# cat /mnt/\$Volume:\$VOLUME_NAME

To read directory raw data:

# cat /mnt/foodir:\$INDEX_ROOT:\$I30"
