14 The vldb_check command checks the integrity of the Volume
15 Location Database (VLDB), reporting any errors or corruption it finds.

21 The results can be unpredictable if the Volume Location (VL) Server makes
22 changes to the VLDB while this command is running. Use the B<bos

78 preceding B<Options> section of this reference page. The output
79 is intended for debugging purposes and is meaningful to someone familiar with
80 the internal structure of the VLDB.
