ARIA_CHK(1)			  User Commands 		     ARIA_CHK(1)

NAME
     aria_chk - Aria table-maintenance utility

SYNOPSIS
     aria_chk [OPTIONS] tables[.MAI]

DESCRIPTION
     Describe, check and repair of Aria tables.  Used without options all tables
     on the command will be checked for errors

   Global options
     -#, --debug=...
	    Output debug log. Often this is 'd:t:o,filename'.

     -H, --HELP
	    Print all argument options sorted alphabetically.

     -?, --help
	    Print all options by groups

     --datadir=path
	    Path for control file (and logs if --logdir not used)

     --logdir=path
	    Path for log files

     --ignore-control-file
	    Don't  open  the control file. Only use this if you are sure the ta-
	    bles are not in use by another program!

     --require-control-file
	    Abort if we can't find/read the maria_log_control file

     -s, --silent
	    Only print errors.	One can  use  two  -s  to  make  maria_chk  very
	    silent.

     -t, --tmpdir=path
	    Path for temporary files. Multiple paths can be specified, separated
	    by colon (:), they will be used in a round-robin fashion.

     -v, --verbose
	    Print  more  information.  This  can  be used with --description and
	    --check. Use many -v for more verbosity.

     -V, --version
	    Print version and exit.

     -w, --wait
	    Wait if table is locked.

   Check options (check is the default action for aria_chk)
     -c, --check
	    Check table for errors.

     -e, --extend-check
	    Check the table VERY thoroughly.  Only use this in extreme cases  as
	    aria_chk should normally be able to find out if the table is ok even
	    without this switch.

     -F, --fast
	    Check only tables that haven't been closed properly.

     -C, --check-only-changed
	    Check only tables that have changed since last check.

     -f, --force
	    Restart with '-r' if there are any errors in the table.  States will
	    be updated as with '--update-state'.

     -i, --information
	    Print statistics information about table that is checked.

     -m, --medium-check
	    Faster  than  extend-check,  but  only  finds  99.99% of all errors.
	    Should be good enough for most cases.

     -T, --read-only
	    Don't mark table as checked.

     -U, --update-state
	    Mark tables as crashed if any errors were found and clean  if  check
	    didn't  find  any errors but table was marked as 'not clean' before.
	    This allows one to get rid of  warnings  like  'table  not	properly
	    closed'.  If  table  was updated, update also the timestamp for when
	    the check was made. This option is on by  default!	 Use  --skip-up-
	    date-state to disable.

     --warning-for-wrong-transaction-id

	    Give a warning if we find a transaction id in the table that is big-
	    ger  than what exists in the control file. Use --skip-... to disable
	    warning

   Recover (repair)/ options (When using '--recover' or '--safe-recover')
     -B, --backup
	    Make a backup of the .MAD file as 'filename-time.BAK'.

     --correct-checksum
	    Correct checksum information for table.

     -D, --data-file-length=#
	    Max length of data file (when recreating data file when it's full).

     -e, --extend-check
	    Try to recover every possible row from the data file  Normally  this
	    will  also	find a lot of garbage rows; Don't use this option if you
	    are not totally desperate.

     -f, --force
	    Overwrite old temporary files.

     -k, --keys-used=#
	    Tell Aria to update only some specific keys. #  is	a  bit	mask  of
	    which keys to use. This can be used to get faster inserts.

     --max-record-length=#
	    Skip rows bigger than this if aria_chk can't allocate memory to hold
	    it.

     -r, --recover
	    Can fix almost anything except unique keys that aren't unique.

     -n, --sort-recover
	    Forces  recovering	with sorting even if the temporary file would be
	    very big.

     -p, --parallel-recover
	    Uses the same technique as '-r' and '-n', but creates all  the  keys
	    in parallel, in different threads.

     -o, --safe-recover
	    Uses  old  recovery method; Slower than '-r' but can handle a couple
	    of cases where '-r' reports that it can't fix the data file.

     --transaction-log
	    Log repair command to transaction log. This is needed if  one  wants
	    to use the aria_read_log to repeat the repair

     --character-sets-dir=...
	    Directory where character sets are.

     --set-collation=name
	    Change the collation used by the index.

     -q, --quick
	    Faster repair by not modifying the data file.  One can give a second
	    '-q'  to  force  aria_chk to modify the original datafile in case of
	    duplicate keys.  NOTE: Tables where the data file is corrupted can't
	    be fixed with this option.

     -u, --unpack
	    Unpack file packed with ariapack.

   Other actions
     -a, --analyze
	    Analyze distribution of  keys.  Will  make	some  joins  in  MariaDB
	    faster.   You  can check the calculated distribution by using '--de-
	    scription --verbose table_name'.

     --stats_method=name
	    Specifies how index statistics collection code should  treat  NULLs.
	    Possible  values  of name are "nulls_unequal" (default for 4.1/5.0),
	    "nulls_equal" (emulate 4.0), and "nulls_ignored".

     -d, --description
	    Prints some information about table.

     -A, --set-auto-increment[=value]
	    Force auto_increment to start at this or higher value If no value is
	    given, then sets the next auto_increment value to the  highest  used
	    value for the auto key + 1.

     -S, --sort-index
	    Sort index blocks.	This speeds up 'read-next' in applications.

     -R, --sort-records=#
	    Sort  records according to an index.  This makes your data much more
	    localized and may speed up things (It may be VERY slow to do a  sort
	    the first time!).

     -b,  --block-search=#
	    Find a record, a block at given offset belongs to.

     -z,  --zerofill
	    Fill  empty  space	in data and index files with zeroes.  This makes
	    the data file movable between different servers.

     --zerofill-keep-lsn
	    Like --zerofill but does not zero out LSN of data/index pages.

   Variables
     --page_buffer_size=#
	    Size of page buffer. Used by --safe-repair

     --read_buffer_size=#
	    Read buffer size for sequential reads during scanning

     --sort_buffer_size=#
	    Size of sort buffer. Used by --recover

     --sort_key_blocks=#

     --write_buffer_size=#
	    Write buffer size for sequential writes during repair

     Default options are read from the	following  files  in  the  given  order:
     /etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf

     The following groups are read: aria_chk

     The following options may be given as the first argument:

     --print-defaults
	    Print the program argument list and exit.

     --no-defaults
