NAME
pathchk - check whether file names are valid or portable
SYNOPSIS
pathchk
[-p] [--portability] [--help] [--version] filename...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page
documents the GNU version of
pathchk.
For each
filename,
pathchk
prints a message if any of these conditions are false:
* all existing directories in
filename
have search (execute) permission
* the length of
filename
is no larger than its filesystem's maximum file name length
* the length of each component of
filename
corresponding to an existing directory name
is no larger than its filesystem's maximum length for a file name component
The exit status is:
0 if all file 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 each file name and its components against the POSIX.1
minimum limits for portability. Also check that the file name contains
no characters not in the portable filename character set.
- --version
-
Print version information on standard output then exit successfully.
