SYNOPSIS
       pathchk  [-p]  [--portability]  [--help] [--version] file-
       name...

DESCRIPTION
       This documentation is no longer being maintained  and  may
       be inaccurate or incomplete.  The Texinfo documentation is
       now the authoritative source.

       This manual page documents the  GNU  version  of  pathchk.
       For  each  filename,  pathchk  prints  a message if any of
       these conditions are false:
       +o all existing directories in filename have  search  (exe-
       cute) permission
       +o  the  length  of filename is no larger than its filesys-
       tem's maximum file name length
       +o the length of each component of  filename  corresponding
       to  an  existing  directory  name  is  no  larger than its
       filesystem's maximum length for a file name component

       The exit status is:
       0 if all file names passed all of the tests,
       1 otherwise.

   OPTIONS
       --help Print a usage message on standard output  and  exit
              successfully.

       -p, --portability
              Instead of performing length checks on the underly-
              ing filesystem, test the length of each  file  name
              and its components against the POSIX.1 minimum lim-
              its for portability.  Also check that the file name
              contains no characters not in the portable filename
              character set.

       --version
              Print version information on standard  output  then
              exit successfully.
