.SH SYNOPSIS

\fBchk_cyrus\fP [ \fB\-C\fP \fIconfig\-file\fP ] [ \fB\-P\fP \fIpartition\fP | \fB\-M\fP \fImailbox\fP ]
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBchk_cyrus\fP is used to perform a consistency check on the cyrus
datastore, and output a list of files/directories that are expected to
exist, but do not.  Status messages are output to stderr, the list of
files/directories is output to stdout.  This list can be passed to a
backup program to aid a partial restoration, for instance.
.sp
\fBchk_cyrus\fP reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by \fB\-C\fP\&.
