pathchk - check whether pathnames are valid or portable
pathchk [-p] [--portability] [--help] [--version] path...
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.
- --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.
