intro(8) BSD System Manager's Manual intro(8)
NAME
intro -- introduction to system maintenance and operation commands
DESCRIPTION
This section contains information related to system operation and mainte-
nance. It describes commands used to create new file systems, newfs(8),
verify the integrity of the file systems, fsck(8), control disk usage,
edquota(8), maintain system backups, dump(8), and recover files when
disks die an untimely death, restore(8).
All commands set an exit status. Its value may be tested to see if the
command completed normally. Unless otherwise noted (rare), the value 0
signifies successful completion of the command, while a value >0 indi-
cates an error. Some commands attempt to describe the nature of the
failure by using error codes defined in sysexits(3), or set the status to
arbitrary values >0 (typically 1), but many such values are not described
in the manual.
