9 $ pmempool check [<options>] <file>
10
12 The pmempool invoked with check command checks consistency of a given
13 pool file. If the pool file is consistent pmempool exits with 0 value.
14 If the pool file is not consistent non-zero error code is returned.
15
16 In case of any errors, the proper message is printed. The verbosity
17 level may be increased using -v option. The output messages may be al‐
18 so suppressed using -q option.
19
20 It is possible to try to fix encountered problems using -r option. In
21 order to be sure this will not corrupt your data you can either create
22 backup of the pool file using -b option or just print what would be
23 fixed without modifying original pool using -N option.

26 not supported.
