FSCHECK
Operation
Use the file system check utility (’’FCHECK’’) to detect and repair inconsistencies found in the file directories
and file label tables of the MPE/iX operating systems. You also use it to query and display various attributes
of these objects. It is a standalone utility and should be the only program running on the system when it is in
use.
The FSCHECK utility performs the following functions:
• checks the directory
• checks the label table
• displays the file extent map
The FSCHECK utility also provides consistent MPE/iX subsystem interface, including LISTREDO, REDO, DO, USE,
DEBUG, and LOG functionality.
WARNING Do not use this utility without proper service center support. Unauthorized use will
void your warranty and may cause data loss!
