1 /BLOCKS
/BLOCKS={(START:n, COUNT:x, END:y,) FILE_SYSTEM, ALL}
Directs the system to compare only the range specified. The
options are the following:
START:n Number of the first block to be analyzed. The default
is the first block.
COUNT:x Number of blocks to be analyzed. You can use this
option in combination with or instead of the END
option.
END:y Number of the last block to be analyzed. The default
is the last block of the volume.
FILE_ Blocks currently in use by valid files on the disk.
SYSTEM This is the default.
ALL All blocks on the disk.
You can specify START,END,COUNT and either ALL or FILE_SYSTEM.
For example, if you specify /BLOCKS=(START,END,COUNT:100,ALL),
the software checks the first 100 blocks on the disk, whether or
not the file system is using them.
If you specify /BLOCKS=(START,END,COUNT:100,FILE_SYSTEM), the
software checks only those blocks that valid files on the disk
are using.
2 /BRIEF
Displays only the logical block number (LBN) if the data in
a block is found to be different. Without this qualifier, if
differences exist for an LBN, the hexadecimal data of that block
will be displayed for each member.
3 /IGNORE
/IGNORE
[NO]IGNORE
Ignore "special" files that are likely to have some blocks with
different data. These differences, however, are not unusual and
can, therefore, be ignored.
Other special files are the following:
SWAPFILE*.*
PAGEFILE*.*
SYSDUMP.DMP
SYS$ERRLOG.DMP
IGNORE is the default.
4 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT=filename
Output the information to the specified file.
5 /STATISTICS
Display only the file header and footer. The best use of this
qualifier is with the /OUTPUT qualifier.
