FSCK.CPM(1)

NAME ..
fsck.cpm - check a CP/M file system

SYNOPSIS .
fsck.cpm [-f format] [-n] image

DESCRIPTION .
fsck.cpm is used to check and repair a CP/M file system. After reading the directory, it makes two passes. The first pass checks extent fields for range and format violations (bad status, extent number, last record byte count, file name, extension, block number, record count, size of .COM files, time stamp format, invalid password characters, invalid time stamp mode). The second pass checks extent connectivity (multiple allocated blocks and duplicate directory entries).

fsck.cpm can not yet repair all errors.

OPTIONS .

-f format
    Use the given CP/M disk format instead of the default format.

-n  Open the file system read-only and do not repair any errors.

RETURN VALUE .
Upon successful completion, exit code 0 is returned.

ERRORS .
Any errors are indicated by exit code 1.

FILES .
@DATADIR@/diskdefs    CP/M disk format definitions

ENVIRONMENT
CPMTOOLSFMT Default format

DIAGNOSTICS .

image: used/total files (n.n% non-contiguos), used/total blocks
    No inconsistencies could be found. The number of used files actually is the number of used extents. Since a file may use more than one extent, this may be greather than the actual number of files, but a correct measure would not reflect how many files could still be created at most. A file is considered fragmented, if sequential data blocks pointed to by the same extent do not have sequential block numbers. The number of used blocks includes the blocks used for system tracks and the directory.
