monitored-fsck — run fsck linked to an external progress monitor
monitored-fsck
{args
}
monitored-fsck is a chain-loading utility that arranges to run fsck(8) linked to an external progress monitoring service.
It chain loads to fsck(8) with the execvp(3) function passing args
through unchanged.
The monitoring capability depends from the abilities of the fsck(8) program.
On the BSDs, it has no monitoring plug-in mechanism.
On Linux, the monitoring is done by opening a client stream to the /run/fsck.progress
local domain socket and passing the -Cfd
command line option to fsck where fd
is the number of the open file descriptor for that client.
