💖 mcheck — bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk, this is the manual page for mcheck from the mtools fam, and it's giving "trust but verify" in the cutest possible way. let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

mcheck — verify all files on an MS-DOS formatted disk 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so mcheck is a script (not even a whole binary, just a script doing its lil thing 💖) that verifies all files on an MS-DOS formatted disk — and the way it does that is by reading them using mtype(1). no cap, that's the whole vibe check. it just goes through every single file and reads it to make sure it's actually readable. obsessed. ✨

the optional argument specifies the MS-DOS drive letter of the disk you want checked. and if you're too lazy to type it? A: is used by default. she's got a default, she's lowkey considerate like that 🫶
