44 | .Bf -symbolic |
| 45 | .Nm Clri | |
| a89e138e | 46 | is obsoleted for normal file system repair work by |

| 50 | .Nm Clri | |
| 51 | zeros out the inodes with the specified inode number(s) | |
| 52 | on the filesystem residing on the given | |
| 53 | .Ar special_device . | |
| b42074ab | 54 | The |
| ed554bc5 C |
55 | .Xr fsck 8 |
| 56 | utility is usually run after | |
| 57 | .Nm clri | |
| 58 | to reclaim the zero'ed inode(s) and the | |
| 59 | blocks previously claimed by those inode(s). | |
| 60 | Both read and write permission are required on the specified | |
| 61 | .Ar special_device . | |

63 | The primary purpose of this routine |
| 64 | is to remove a file which | |
| ed554bc5 C |
65 | for some reason is not being properly handled by |
| 66 | .Xr fsck 8 . | |
| 67 | Once removed, | |
| 68 | it is anticipated that | |
| 69 | .Xr fsck 8 | |
| 70 | will be able to clean up the resulting mess. | |

| ed554bc5 C |
77 | If the file is open, the work of |
| 78 | .Nm clri | |
| 79 | will be lost when the inode is written back to disk from the inode cache. |
