+SYNOPSIS check_____ [ filesystem [ blockno918 ... ] ]
+.sp
+.ti 0
+DESCRIPTION check_____
+will examine a file system,
+build a bit map of used blocks,
+and compare this bit map against
+the bit map maintained on the file system.
+If the file system is not specified,
+a check of all
+of the normally mounted file systems
+is performed.
+Output includes the number of files on the file system,
+the number of these that are 'large', the number
+of indirect blocks,
+the number
+of used blocks, and the number of free blocks.
+.sp
+check_____ works by examining the i-nodes
+on the file system and is entirely
+independent of its directory hierarchy.
+The file system may be,
+but need not be, mounted.

+DIAGNOSTICS Diagnostics are produced for
+blocks missing, duplicated, and bad block addresses.
+Diagnostics are also produced for block numbers passed as parameters.
+In each case, the block number, i-number, and
+block class (i_ = inode, x_ indirect, f_ free) is printed.

+BUGS The
+checking process is two pass in nature.
+If checking is done on an active file system,
+extraneous diagnostics may occur.
