SYNOPSIS

11       chk_cyrus [ -C config-file ] [ -P partition | -M mailbox ]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       chk_cyrus  is  used  to perform a consistency check on the cyrus datas‐
15       tore, and output a list of files/directories that are expected  to  ex‐
16       ist,  but  do  not.   Status messages are output to stderr, the list of
17       files/directories is output to stdout.  This list can be  passed  to  a
18       backup program to aid a partial restoration, for instance.
19
20       chk_cyrus reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file
21       unless specified otherwise by -C.
22

OPTIONS

24       -C config-file
25              Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the
26              default imapd.conf(5).
27
28       -P partition
29              Limit to partition partition.  May not be specified with -M.
30
31       -M mailbox
32              Only check mailbox mailbox.  May not be specified with -P.
33
34              IMPORTANT:
35                 The  mailbox  must  be  specified  in the internal format, so
36                 rather than specifying user/john/Trash@example.org, you  will
37                 want to specify example.org!user.john.Trash.
38
