apfsck - check an APFS filesystem
Contents
Description
Unless you are an APFS developer, you are probably not interested in this tool. It's only intended for
testing, and it could potentially be dangerous if run on a maliciously crafted filesystem.
apfsck is an experimental tool that checks an APFS filesystem for corruption. When an issue is found it
is reported, but no repair is attempted. For that purpose, you should use the official tools provided by
Apple.
Exit Status
The exit status is 0 if there was nothing to report, 1 otherwise.
