pathchk

Check the validity and portability of one or more pathnames.

• Check pathnames for validity in the current system:

pathchk {path1 path2 …}

• Check pathnames for validity on a wider range of POSIX compliant systems:

pathchk -p {path1 path2 …}

• Check pathnames for validity on all POSIX compliant systems:

pathchk --portability {path1 path2 …}

• Only check for empty pathnames or leading dashes (-):

pathchk -P {path1 path2 …}
