repair_packages(8)	  BSD System Manager's Manual	    repair_packages(8)

NAME
     repair_packages — verify or repair filesystem permissions and flags for
     packages.

SYNOPSIS
     repair_packages [arguments]

DESCRIPTION
     repair_packages is used by Disk Utility to verify or repair permissions
     on installed packages.

ARGUMENTS
     --volume	   Perform all operations on the specified volume or home
		   directory.  The root volume '/' will be used if unspeci‐
		   fied.

     --list-standard-pkgs
		   Output the list of package-id strings corresponding to
		   receipts in the installer's receipt database that will be
		   verified or repaired by the --standard-pkgs flag.

     --verify	   Verify the specified package(s).

     --repair	   Repair the specified package(s).

     --pkg package-id
		   Add the specified package to the list of packages to verify
		   or repair.

     --standard-pkgs
		   Add the standard packages to the list of packages to verify
		   or repair.  Use --list-standard-pkgs to view this list.

     --output-format #
		   Use a special output format selected by #. Different output
		   formats may be optimized for human or machine readability.
		   The default output-format is '0', and is a verbose, human-
		   readable format.

NOTES
     repair_packages only runs on 10.6 or later systems. To verify or repair
     permissions on earlier systems, reboot with a Tiger or Leopard system
     disk and verify or repair permissions with the repair_packages version on
     that disk.

BUGS
     repair_packages does not verify file contents or restore missing files;
     It can only verify or repair filesystem permissions.
