NAME
     fpck - check and repair either FAT (MSDOS) or HFS (MACINTOSH) filesystems

SYNOPSIS
     fpck -t mac | hfs | dos | fat [-c] special

DESCRIPTION
     fpck audits and repairs inconsistent conditions for filesystems.  When
     fpck locates major filesystem structure destruction, such as critical
     sector damage or unrecoverable error, an error message is given.
     Otherwise, the user is notified with a warning message.

     The -t flag is required to designate a target filesystem.  This utility
     supports two types of filesystem with four options.  dos and fat are
     synonyms in representing MSDOS FAT filesystem while mac and hfs are
     synonyms in representing MACINTOSH HFS filesystem.

     The default action is no correction, unless the -c flag is given.

     Supported floppy types for FAT filesystem and their corresponding special
     files are:

          360K, DS, DD, 5.25 inch disk  /dev/rdsk/fds?d?.48
          720K, DS, DD, 3.5  inch disk  /dev/rdsk/fds?d?.3.5
