.SH NAME
fsdb_ufs \- ufs file system debugger
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fBfsdb\fR \fB-F\fR ufs [\fIgeneric_options\fR] [\fIspecific_options\fR] \fIspecial\fR
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBfsdb_ufs\fR command is an interactive tool that can be used to patch up
a damaged \fBUFS\fR file system. It has conversions to translate block and
i-numbers into their corresponding disk addresses. Also included are mnemonic
offsets to access different parts of an inode. These greatly simplify the
process of correcting control block entries or descending the file system tree.
.sp
.LP
\fBfsdb\fR contains several error-checking routines to verify inode and block
addresses. These can be disabled if necessary by invoking \fBfsdb\fR with the
\fB-o\fR option or by the use of the \fBo\fR command.
.sp
.LP
\fBfsdb\fR reads a block at a time and will therefore work with raw as well as
block \fBI/O\fR devices. A buffer management routine is used to retain commonly
used blocks of data in order to reduce the number of read system calls. All
assignment operations result in an immediate write-through of the corresponding
block. Note that in order to modify any portion of the disk, \fBfsdb\fR must be
invoked with the \fBw\fR option.
.sp
.LP
Wherever possible, \fBadb-\fRlike syntax was adopted to promote the use of
\fBfsdb\fR through familiarity.

.SH USAGE
.sp
.LP
Numbers are considered hexadecimal by default. However, the user has control
over how data is to be displayed or accepted. The \fBbase\fR command will
display or set the input/output base. Once set, all input will default to this
base and all output will be shown in this base. The base can be overridden
temporarily for input by preceding hexadecimal numbers with \&'\fB0x\fR',
preceding decimal numbers with '\fB0t\fR', or octal numbers with '\fB0\fR'.
Hexadecimal numbers beginning with \fBa-f\fR or \fBA-F\fR must be preceded with
\&'\fB0x\fR' to distinguish them from commands.
.sp
.LP
Disk addressing by \fBfsdb\fR is at the byte level. However, \fBfsdb\fR offers
many commands to convert a desired inode, directory entry, block, superblock
and so forth to a byte address. Once the address has been calculated,
\fBfsdb\fR will record the result in dot (\fB\&.\fR).
.sp
.LP
Several global values are maintained by \fBfsdb\fR:
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
the current base (referred to as \fBbase\fR),
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
the current address (referred to as \fBdot\fR),
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
the current inode (referred to as \fBinode\fR),
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
the current count (referred to as \fBcount\fR),
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
and the current type (referred to as \fBtype\fR).
.RE
.sp
.LP
Most commands use the preset value of \fBdot\fR in their execution. For
example,
.sp
.LP
\fB> 2:inode\fR
.sp
.LP
will first set the value of \fBdot\fR to 2, ':', will alert the start of a
command, and the \fBinode\fR command will set \fBinode\fR to 2. A count is
specified after a ','. Once set, \fBcount\fR will remain at this value until a
new command is encountered which will then reset the value back to 1 (the
default). So, if
.sp
.LP
\fB> 2000,400/X\fR
.sp
.LP
is typed, 400 hex longs are listed from 2000, and when completed, the value of
\fBdot\fR will be \fB2000 + 400 * sizeof (long)\fR. If a  \fBRETURN\fR is then
typed, the output routine will use the current values of \fBdot\fR,
\fBcount\fR, and \fBtype\fR and display 400 more hex longs. A '*' will cause
the entire block to be displayed.
.sp
.LP
End of fragment, block and file are maintained by \fBfsdb\fR. When displaying
data as fragments or blocks, an error message will be displayed when the end of
fragment or block is reached. When displaying data using the \fBdb\fR,
\fBib\fR, \fBdirectory\fR, or \fBfile\fR commands an error message is displayed
if the end of file is reached. This is mainly needed to avoid passing the end
of a directory or file and getting unknown and unwanted results.
.sp
.LP
An example showing several commands and the use of  \fBRETURN\fR would be:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fB> 2:ino; 0:dir?d\fR
      or
\fB> 2:ino; 0:db:block?d\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
The two examples are synonymous for getting to the first directory entry of the
root of the file system. Once there, any subsequent  \fBRETURN\fR (or +, -)
will advance to subsequent entries. Note that
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fB> 2:inode; :ls\fR
      or
\fB> :ls /\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
is again synonymous.

.SS "Inode Commands"

In addition to the above commands, there are several commands that deal with
inode fields and operate directly on the current \fBinode\fR (they still
require the ':'). They may be used to more easily display or change the
particular fields. The value of \fIdot\fR is only used by the '\fB:db\fR'
and '\fB:ib\fR' commands. Upon completion of the command, the value of \fIdot\fR is
changed to point to that particular field. For example,
.sp
.LP
\fB> :ln=+1\fR

The following command displays changes the current inode to that associated
with the \fB5\fRth directory entry (numbered from zero) of the current
\fBinode\fR. The first logical block of the file is then displayed in
\fBASCII\fR:

.SH WARNINGS
.sp
.LP
Since \fBfsdb\fR reads the disk raw, extreme caution is advised in determining
its availability of \fBfsdb\fR on the system. Suggested permissions are 600 and
owned by bin.
.SH NOTES
.sp
.LP
The old command line syntax for clearing i-nodes using the ufs-specific
\fB\&'-z i-number'\fR option is still supported by the new debugger, though it
is obsolete and will be removed in a future release. Use of this flag will
result in correct operation, but an error message will be printed warning of
the impending obsolesence of this option to the command. The equivalent
functionality is available using the more flexible \fBclri\fR(1M) command.
