NAME
     mpck -- check MPEG audio files

SYNOPSIS
     mpck [ options ] [ file ...  ]
     mpck [ -h | -V ]

DESCRIPTION
     mpck  checks  mp3s.   It scans the file to see if the frames are where they
     are supposed to be, if the frame headers are correct and if the headers are
     consistent throughout the file. It gives some statistics on the file, and a
     conclusion whether the file is good or bad.

	    Print statistics only for bad files.

     -e --extention=EXT
	    Scan only files ending in .EXT

     -h --help

     -m --maxname=NUM
	    Report bad for a file which has more  than	num  characters  in  its
	    filename.

     -n --namecheck
	    Check  for	strange characters in a filename. This reports bad for a
	    file with a filename consisting of characters other than  [A-Za-z0-9
	    ._-].

     -q --quiet
	    Print only good or bad for each file.

     -r     Short for -R -e mp3
