NAME
     fsck - front-end for filesystem checkers

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/fsck [ options for specific fsck ] [ -Tfilesys_type ] [
     filesystem ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     This command is a front-end program that collects options
     and executes the proper fsck command for each filesystem.
     That is, filesystem types may be mixed, and the proper
     checker will be executed for the filesystem.  Currently,
     only the FFS filesystem is supported.

     The options that can be used are described on the manual
     page for the filesystem-specific fsck command.  Only options
     understood by a checker are passed on.

     -T tells fsck the type of a specific filesystem which is not
     currently mounted.  This option is required for unmounted
     filesystems.

     If the -a or -p options are used, the automatic check list
     generation facility can be used.  Filesystems will then be
     read out of fstab(4).
