NAME
     fsdb (generic) - file system debugger

SYNOPSIS
     fsdb   [-F   FSType]    [-V]    [    current_options]    [-o
     specific_options] special

DESCRIPTION
     fsdb is a file system debugger which allows for  the  manual
     repair of a file system after a crash.  special is a special
     device used to indicate the  file  system  to  be  debugged.
     fsdb  is intended for experienced users only.  FSType is the
     file system type to be debugged.   Since  different  FSTypes
     have  different  structures  and  hence  different debugging
     capabilities the manual pages for the  FSType-specific  fsdb
     should  be  consulted for a more detailed description of the
     debugging capabilities.

     current_options are options  supported  by  the  s5-specific
     module  of  fsdb.   Other FSTypes do not necessarily support
     these options.  specific_options indicate suboptions  speci-
     fied   in   a  comma-separated  list  of  suboptions  and/or
     keyword-attribute pairs for interpretation  by  the  FSType-
     specific module of the command.

     The options are:

     -F        Specify the FSType on which to operate. The FSType
               should either be specified here or be determinable
               from /etc/vfstab by matching the special  with  an
               entry in the table.

     -V        Echo the complete command line, but do not execute
               the  command.   The  command  line is generated by
               using the options and arguments  provided  by  the
               user  and  adding to them information derived from
               /etc/vfstab.  This option should be used to verify
               and validate the command line.

     -o        Specify FSType-specific options.

NOTE
     This command may not be supported for all FSTypes.
