18 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
19 | ||
20 | The B<prdb_check> command checks the integrity of the Protection Database, | |
21 | reporting any errors or corruption it finds. If there are problems, do not | |
22 | issue any B<pts> commands until the database is repaired. | |
23 | ||
24 | =head1 CAUTIONS | |
25 | ||
26 | The results can be unpredictable if the Protection Server makes changes to | |
27 | the Protection Database while this command is running. Use the B<bos | |
28 | shutdown> command to shutdown the local B<ptserver> process before running | |
29 | this command, or before creating a second copy of the F<prdb.DB0> file | |
30 | (with a different name) on which to run the command. | |
31 | ||
32 | =head1 OPTIONS | |
33 | ||
34 | =over 4 | |
35 | ||
36 | =item B<-database> <I<ptdb file>> | |
37 | ||
38 | Names the Protection Database (copy of the F<prdb.DB0> file) to check. If | |
39 | the current working directory is not the location of the file, provide a | |
40 | pathname, either full or relative to the current working directory. | |
41 | ||
42 | =item B<-uheader> | |
43 | ||
44 | Displays information which Ubik maintains in the database's header. | |
45 | ||
46 | =item B<-pheader> | |
47 | ||
48 | Displays information which the Protection Server maintains in the | |
49 | database's header. | |
50 | ||
51 | =item B<-entries> | |
52 | ||
53 | Outputs every entry in the database. Some of the information is similar to | |
54 | that returned by the B<pts examine> command. | |
55 | ||
56 | =item B<-verbose> | |
57 | ||
58 | Reports additional information about the database, including the number of | |
59 | entries in the database and a trace of the internal database structures | |
60 | the command is verifying. | |
61 | ||
62 | =item B<-help> | |
63 | ||
64 | Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are | |
65 | ignored. | |
66 | ||
67 | =back | |
68 | ||
69 | =head1 OUTPUT | |
70 | ||
71 | If there are errors in the database, the output always reports them on the | |
72 | standard error stream. If any options other than B<-database> or B<-help> | |
73 | are provided, the output written to the standard output stream includes | |
74 | additional information as described for each option in L</OPTIONS>. The | |
75 | output is intended for debugging purposes and is meaningful to someone | |
76 | familiar with the internal structure of the Protection Database. | |
