-.TH SMASH 8
-.CT 1 sa_nonmortals
-.SH NAME
-smash \- rewrite bad disk sectors
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B /etc/smash
-.I device sector
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Smash
-attempts to read the named (decimal, 512-byte)
-.I sector
-from the named
-.IR device ,
-and prints the error status from the read
-and the data read,
-in octal,
-regardless of the error status.
-It then prompts
-.LR write? ,
-to which there are three answers:
-.TP
-.B y
-Write the data back to the sector.
-.TP
-.B c
-Write zeros to the sector.
-.TP
-anything else
-Quit.
-.PP
-After the sector is written,
-it is read again
-and the cycle repeats.
-.PP
-Writing the sector,
-even if its contents could be correctly read,
-will recompute the error correcting code.
-This may make soft ECC errors vanish,
-and will recover what can be recovered
-(sometimes not much)
-from hard ECC errors.
