+.Sh SYNOPSIS

+.Op Fl m Ar machine
+.Op Fl s Pq Ar srcdir | Ar tgzdir | Ar tgzfile
+.Op Fl x Ar xsrcdir
+.Ar operation
+.Ar \&...
+.Nm postinstall
+.Fl \&?
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility performs post-installation checks and/or fixes on a system's
+configuration files.
+It is especially useful after system upgrades, e.g. after updating
+from
+.Nx 1.6.2
+to
+.Nx 2.0 .
+The items to check or fix are divided in two groups: enabled by
+default and disabled by default.
+The latter are items that are dangerous for some reason, for example
+because they remove files which may be still in use.
+If no
+.Ar items
+are provided, the default checks or fixes are applied.
+Those which are disabled by default must be provided explicitly.
+.Pp
+Supported options:
+.Bl -tag -width XsXsrcdirXXX -offset indent
+.It Fl a Ar arch
+MACHINE_ARCH.
+Defaults to machine of the host operating system.
+.It Fl d Ar destdir
+Destination directory to check.
+Defaults to
+.Pa / .
+.It Fl m Ar machine
+MACHINE.
+Defaults to machine of the host operating system.
+.It Fl s Pq Ar srcdir | Ar tgzdir | Ar tgzfile
+The location of the reference files, or the
+.Nx
+source files used to create the reference files.
+This may be specified in one of three ways:
+.Bl -tag -width XXsXtgzfileXX
+.It Fl s Ar srcdir
+The top level directory of the
+.Nx
+source tree.
+By default this is
+.Pa /usr/src .
+.It Fl s Ar tgzdir
+A directory in which reference files have been
+extracted from a binary distribution of
+.Nx .
+The files that are distributed in the
+.Dq Pa etc.tgz
+or
+.Dq Pa etc.tar.xz
+set file must be present.
+The files that are distributed in the
+.Dq Pa xetc.tgz
+or
+.Dq Pa xetc.tar.xz
+set file are optional.
+.It Fl s Ar tgzfile
+The location of a set file
+(or
+.Dq "tgz file"
+or
+.Dq "tar.xz file" )
+such as
+.Dq Pa etc.tgz
+or
+.Dq Pa xetc.tgz
+from a binary distribution of
+.Nx .
+Each set file is a compressed archive containing reference files,
+which will be extracted to the
+.Pa temproot
+directory.
+Multiple
+.Fl s
+options may be used to specify multiple set files.
+The
+.Dq Pa etc.tgz
+set file must be specified.
+The
+.Dq Pa xetc.tgz
+set file is optional.
+.El
+.It Fl x Ar xsrcdir
+Location of the X11 source files.
+This must be a directory that contains a
+.Nx
+xsrc tree.
+.It Fl \&?

+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar operation
+argument may be one of:
+.Bl -tag -width usageXX -offset indent
+.It Cm check Ar item Ar \&...
+Perform post-installation checks on items.
+.It Cm diff Oo Fl Ar bcenpuw Oc Ar item Ar \&...
+Similar to
+.Cm check ,
+but also show the differences between the files.
+.It Cm fix Ar item Ar \&...
+Apply fixes that
+.Cm check
+determines need to be applied.
+Not all items can be automatically fixed by
+.Nm ,
+and in some cases an error will be reported,
+after which manual intervention will be required.
+.Pp
+Conflicts between existing files in the target file system
+and new files from the
+.Nx
+distribution are resolved by replacing the existing file
+with the new file; there is no attempt to merge the files.
+See
+.Xr etcupdate 8
+for an alternative update method that is able to merge files.
+.It Cm help
+Display help to stdout, and exit.
+.It Cm list
+List available
+.Ar items ,
+showing if they are enabled or disabled by default.
+.It Cm usage

+.Sh EXIT STATUS
+The
+.Nm
+utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs
+or a problem was found.
