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.
