NAME

       checkdirfile — verify Dirfile database metadata

SYNOPSIS

       checkdirfile DIRFILE

       checkdirfile [ --help | --version ]

DESCRIPTION

       Report errors in metadata of the dirfile(5) database specified by DIRFILE.

       Three  separate  checks  are  performed.   First, the format specification metadata is scanned for syntax
       errors (see dirfile-format(5)) and Dirfile Standards compliance.  Second, fields defined in the  database
       are checked for self-consistency.  Finally, the database is queried for its length.

       --help
       --version
              Show usage and version information and exit.
