NAME
pathchk - check whether pathnames are valid or portable
SYNOPSIS
pathchk
[-p] [--portability] [--help] [--version] path...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page
documents the GNU version of
pathchk.
For each
path,
pathchk
prints a message if any of these conditions are false:
* all existing directories in
path
have search (execute) permission
* the length of
path
<= its filesystem's maximum path length
* the length of each existing directory in
path
<= its filesystem's maximum file name legnth
The exit status is:
0 if all path names passed all of the tests,
1 otherwise.
OPTIONS
- --help
-
Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.
- -p, --portability
-
Instead of performing length checks on the underlying filesystem, test
the length of the pathname and its components against the POSIX.1
minimum limits for portability. Also check that the pathname contains
no characters not in the portable filename character set.
- --version
-
Print version information on standard output then exit successfully.
