NAME

       cramfsck - check a compressed ROM file system

SYNOPSIS

       cramfsck [-hv] [-x dir] file

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the cramfsck command.  This manual page was written for
       the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may  be  used  by  others),  because  the  original
       program does not have a manual page.

       cramfsck  checks the consistency of a CramFs file system given by file.  Unlike other file
       system checkers, it does not attempt to repair a  broken  file  system.   This  is  not  a
       deficiency  as CramFs is not subject to the kind of corruption that a writable file system
       may endure.

       cramfsck is also able to extract the contents of the file system.

OPTIONS

       -h     Give a brief help message.

       -v     Turn on verbose mode.

       -x dir In addition to checking the given file system, extract its contents into dir.
