+.Sh NAME
+.Nm drtest
+.Nd stand-alone disk test program
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a stand-alone program used to read a disk
+track by track.
+It was primarily intended as a test program
+for new stand-alone drivers, but has shown
+useful in other contexts as well, such as
+verifying disks and running speed
+tests. For example, when a disk has been formatted
+(by
+.Xr vax/format 8 ) ,
+you can check that
+hard errors has been taken care of by running
+.Nm .
+No hard errors should be found, but in many cases
+quite a few soft
+.Tn ECC
+errors will be reported.
+.Pp
+While
+.Nm
+is running, the cylinder number is printed on
+the console for every 10th cylinder read.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+A sample run of
+.Nm
+is shown below.
+In this example (using a 750),
+.Nm
+is loaded from the root file system;
+usually it
+will be loaded from the machine's
+console storage device. Boldface means user input.
+As usual, ``#'' and ``@'' may be used to edit input.

+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+The diagnostics are intended to be self explanatory. Note, however, that
+the device number
+in the diagnostic messages is identified as
+.Em typeX
+instead of
+.Em type(a,u)
+where
+.Ar X
+\&= a*8+u, e.g., hp(1,3) becomes hp11.
