.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B mdbx_chk
utility intended to check an MDBX database file.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BR \-V
Write the library version number to the standard output, and exit.
.TP
.BR \-v
Produce verbose output, including summarize space and page usage statistics.
If \fB\-vv\fP is given, be more verbose, show summarized B-tree info
and space allocation.
If \fB\-vvv\fP is given, be more verbose, include summarized statistics
of leaf B-tree pages.
If \fB\-vvvv\fP is given, be even more verbose, show info of each page
during B-tree traversal and basic info of each GC record.
If \fB\-vvvvv\fP is given, turn maximal verbosity, display the full list
of page IDs in the GC records and size of each key-value pair of database(s).
.TP
.BR \-q
Be quiet; do not output anything even if an error was detected.
.TP
.BR \-c
Force using cooperative mode while opening environment, i.e. don't try to open
in exclusive/monopolistic mode. Only exclusive/monopolistic mode allow complete
check, including full check of all meta-pages and actual size of database file.
.TP
.BR \-w
Open environment in read-write mode and lock for writing while checking.
This could be impossible if environment already used by another process(s)
in an incompatible read-write mode. This allow rollback to last steady commit
(in case environment was not closed properly) and then check transaction IDs
of meta-pages. Otherwise, without \fB\-w\fP option environment will be
opened in read-only mode.
.TP
.BR \-d
Disable page-by-page traversal of B-tree. In this case, without B-tree
traversal, it is unable to check for lost-unused pages nor for double-used
pages.
.TP
.BR \-i
Ignore wrong order errors, which will likely false-positive if custom
comparator(s) was used.
.TP
.BR \-s \ subdb
Verify and show info only for a specific subdatabase.
.TP
.BR \-0 | \-1 | \-2
Using specific meta-page 0, or 2 for checking.
.TP
.BR \-t
Turn to a specified meta-page on successful check.
.TP
.BR \-T
Turn to a specified meta-page EVEN ON UNSUCCESSFUL CHECK!
.TP
.BR \-n
Open MDBX environment(s) which do not use subdirectories.
This is legacy option. For now MDBX handles this automatically.

.SH DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit status
and a diagnostic message being written to standard error
if no quiet mode was requested.
