4.0;sald (salvage_directory), version 4.0, 82/03/24
SALD (SALVAGE_DIRECTORY) -- Salvage a directory.
usage:  SALD  pathname...       {CL}


FORMAT

  SALD pathname...


  SALD corrects problems in directories caused by a system crash or
  network failure.  The specified pathname must refer to a directory.

  SALD makes the specified directory usable and saves as much information
  as possible.

  The following are symptoms of damaged directories:

   . LD reports that the directory is empty, but it cannot be deleted.

   . LD lists a file in the directory, but no other command can find
     the file.

   . The directory is completely unreadable, and errors occur on every
     access attempt.


ARGUMENTS

  pathname
  (required)       Specify name of directory to be salvaged.  Multiple
                   pathnames and wildcarding are permitted.


OPTIONS

  SALD has no unique options, but does use the command line parser, and
  so accepts the standard command options listed in HELP CL.


EXAMPLE

  $ sald /sqh/data_dir           Salvage the directory specified.
