4.0;sald (salvage_directory), revision 4.0, 82/03/24
SALD (SALVAGE_DIRECTORY) -- Salvage a directory.
usage:  SALD pathname...  {CL}


FORMAT

  SALD pathname...


  SALD  corrects  problems  in  directories  caused by a system crash or network
  failure.  The specified pathname must refer to a directory.

  SALD makes the specified directory usable and saves  as  much  information  as
  possible.

  The following are symptoms of damaged directories:

     - LD reports that the directory is empty, but it cannot be deleted.

     - LD  lists a file in the directory, but no other command can find the
       file.

     - The directory is completely unreadable, and errors  occur  on  every
       access attempt.


ARGUMENTS

  pathname
  (required)          Specify  name  of  directory  to  be  salvaged.   Multiple
                     pathnames and wildcarding are permitted.


OPTIONS

  SALD has no unique options.

  This command uses the command line parser, and so also  accepts  the  standard
  command options listed in HELP CL.


EXAMPLES


    $ sald /sqh/data_dir           Salvage the directory specified.
