=head1 NAME
prdb_check - Checks the integrity of the Protection Database
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<prdb_check -database> <I<ptdb_file>> [B<-uheader>] [B<-pheader>] [-entries]
[B<-verbose>] [B<-help>]
B<prdb_check -d> <I<ptdb_file>> [B<-u>] [B<-p>] [B<-e>] [B<-v>] [-h]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The prdb_check command checks the integrity of the Protection
Database, reporting any errors or corruption it finds. If there are
problems, do not issue any B<pts> commands until the database is
repaired.
=head1 CAUTIONS
The results can be unpredictable if the Protection Server makes changes to
the Protection Database while this command is running. Use the B<bos
shutdown> command to shutdown the local B<ptserver> process
before running this command, or before creating a second copy of the
B<prdb.DB0> file (with a different name) on which to run the
command.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item -database
Names the Protection Database (copy of the prdb.DB0
file) to check. If the current working directory is not the location of
the file, provide a pathname, either full or relative to the current working
directory.
=item -uheader
Displays information which Ubik maintains in the database's
header.
=item -pheader
Displays information which the Protection Server maintains in the
database's header.
=item -entries
Outputs every entry in the database. Some of the information is
similar to that returned by the B<pts examine> command.
=item -verbose
Reports additional information about the database, including the number of
entries in the database and a trace of the internal database structures the
command is verifying.
=item -help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
are ignored.
=back
=head1 OUTPUT
If there are errors in the database, the output always reports them on the
standard error stream. If any options other than B<-database>
or B<-help> are provided, the output written to the standard output
stream includes additional information as described for each option in the
preceding B<Options> section of this reference page. The output
is intended for debugging purposes and is meaningful to someone familiar with
the internal structure of the Protection Database.
=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be logged in as the local superuser root.
