.SH "NAME"
regcheck - enumerates all of the keys in the Registry, 
dumps the 
contents of the Registry, checks and repairs 
the Registry.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.ft4
.nf
regcheck -E | -D | -C | -R [ -L ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The regcheck command is used to enumerate all of the keys in the Registry. 
It also can be used to dump the entire Registry for diagnostic purposes. 
If the internal format of the Registry becomes corrupt, it
can be repaired. 
.SH OPTIONS
.SS -C	
Checks the Registry file.
.SS -D	
Dumps the entire Registry in detail.
.SS -E	
Enumerates the full paths of all Registry keys.
.SS -R	
Checks and repairs the Registry file.
.SS -L
Locks the Registry while performing a specified action.
.SH NOTES
This command must be run as root.
.sp .5
The check (-C) and repair (-R) options only check and repair the 
internal format of the Registry.
No checking is performed on the validity of any of the data 
stored in the Registry.
.sp .5
The dump (-D) option outputs an exceptionally large amount of data, 
including information about the internal format of the Registry. 
This output is intended for diagnostic operations
performed by product support personnel who have 
access to source code for the Registry. 
It is not intended for use by system administrators.
.sp .5
By default, the check (-C), dump (-D), and enumerate (-E) options do
not lock the Registry.  
The advantage of this is that these commands can be executed
without blocking SunLink Server if it is running.  
The disadvantage of this is that if SunLink Server
modifies the Registry while a command with one of these options
is being executed, the Registry may appear to be inconsistent.  
If the locking (-L) option is specified, commands containing the check,
repair, and enumerate options are guaranteed to see a consistent 
snapshot of the Registry.  
However, SunLink Server will not be able to access the
Registry while a command with the locking option is being executed.  
.sp .5
The repair (-R) option performs locking by default and thus is 
unaffected by the locking (-L) option.
