The @command{fsck.bookmarkfs} program checks and optionally repairs a

BookmarkFS filesystem.
|

|

Unlike @command{fsck} on general-purpose filesystems (e.g. ext4),
|

this program does not check the integrity or validity of a bookmark file --
|
||||
the underlying filesystem containing the bookmark storage is responsible for
|

that.

Instead, it checks for bookmark names that are not valid as filename

(e.g. contains slash characters).

On-disk filesystems may suffer from data corruption due to power loss
|
||||
or hardware failures, thus they usually provide a ``filesystem check''
|
||||
mechanism to detect and fix those problems.
|
||||
|
||||
As a pseudo-filesystem, BookmarkFS does not check for data integrity,
|
||||
and ``filesystem check'' is given a new purpose:
|
||||
To check if a bookmark name is valid as a filename,
|
||||
and ``repair'' (rename) it if it isn't.
|
||||
|
||||
A POSIX-compliant filesystem has various restrictions regarding filenames:
|
||||
|
||||
@itemize @bullet{}
|
||||
@item must not contain slash characters
|
||||
@item must not be empty or longer than @code{NAME_MAX}
|
||||
@item must not duplicate with another file in the same directory
|
||||
@end itemize
|
||||
|
||||
It is commonplace for bookmark names to not meet such criteria,
|
||||
thus a filesystem check is often necessary when switching to BookmarkFS
|
||||
from another bookmark management software.
