It is especially useful after system upgrades, e.g. after updating from .Nx 1.6.2 to .Nx 2.0 . The items to check or fix are divided in two groups: enabled by default and disabled by default. The latter are items that are dangerous for some reason, for example because they remove files which may be still in use. If no .Ar items are provided, the default checks or fixes are applied. Those which are disabled by default must be provided explicitly. .Pp Supported options: .Bl -tag -width XsXsrcdirXXX -offset indent .It Fl a Ar arch MACHINE_ARCH. Defaults to machine of the host operating system. .It Fl d Ar destdir Destination directory to check. Defaults to .Pa / . .It Fl m Ar machine MACHINE. Defaults to machine of the host operating system. .It Fl s Brq Ar srcdir | Ar tgzdir | Ar tgzfile The location of the reference files, or the .Nx source files used to create the reference files. This may be specified in one of three ways: .Bl -tag -width XXsXtgzfileXX .It Fl s Ar srcdir The top level directory of the .Nx source tree. By default this is .Pa /usr/src . .It Fl s Ar tgzdir A directory in which reference files have been extracted from a binary distribution of .Nx . The files that are distributed in the .Dq Pa etc.tgz set file must be present. The files that are distributed in the .Dq Pa xetc.tgz set file are optional. .It Fl s Ar tgzfile The location of a set file (or .Dq "tgz file" ) such as .Dq Pa etc.tgz or .Dq Pa xetc.tgz from a binary distribution of .Nx . Each set file is a compressed archive containing reference files, which will be extracted to the .Pa temproot directory. Multiple .Fl s options may be used to specify multiple set files. The .Dq Pa etc.tgz set file must be specified. The .Dq Pa xetc.tgz set file is optional. .El .It Fl x Ar xsrcdir Location of the X11 source files. This must be a directory that contains a .Nx xsrc tree. .El .Pp The .Ar operation argument may be one of: .Bl -tag -width usageXX -offset indent .It Cm check Perform post-installation checks on items. .It Cm diff Op Xr diff 1 Li options Similar to .Cm check , but also show the differences between the files. .It Cm fix Apply fixes that .Cm check determines need to be applied. Not all items can be automatically fixed by .Nm , and in some cases an error will be reported, after which manual intervention will be required. .Pp Conflicts between existing files in the target file system and new files from the .Nx distribution are resolved by replacing the existing file with the new file; there is no attempt to merge the files. See .Xr etcupdate 8 for an alternative update method that is able to merge files. .It Cm help Display a short help. .It Cm list List available .Ar items , showing if they are enabled or disabled by default. .It Cm usage Same as .Cm help . .El .Sh EXIT STATUS The .Nm utility exits 0 on success, and \*[Gt]0 if an error occurs or a problem was found. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr etcupdate 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm utility first appeared in .Nx 1.6 . .Pp In .Nx 4.0 , the .Fl s Ar tgzfile option was added. .Pp In .Nx 5.0 , the ability to specify multiple colon-separated files with a single .Fl s option was deprecated. .Pp In .Nx 7.0 , the ability to specify multiple colon-separated files with a single .Fl s option was removed. Multiple .Fl s options must be used instead.
