.SH DESCRIPTION
.
fsadm utility checks or resizes the filesystem on a device.
It tries to use the same API for
.BR ext2 ,
.BR ext3 ,
.BR ext4 ,
.BR ReiserFS
.RB and
.BR XFS
filesystem.
.
.SH OPTIONS
.
.HP
.BR -e | --ext-offline
.br
Unmount ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem before doing resize.
.
.HP
.BR -f | --force
.br
Bypass some sanity checks.
.
.HP
.BR -h | --help
.br
Display the help text.
.
.HP
.BR -n | --dry-run
.br
Print commands without running them.
.
.HP
.BR -v | --verbose
.br
Be more verbose.
.
.HP
.BR -y | --yes
.br
Answer "yes" at any prompts.
.
.HP
.BR \fInew_size [ B | K | M | G | T | P | E ]
.br
Absolute number of filesystem blocks to be in the filesystem,
or an absolute size using a suffix (in powers of 1024).
If new_size is not supplied, the whole device is used.
.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.
On successful completion, the status code is 0.
A status code of 2 indicates the operation was interrupted by the user.
A status code of 3 indicates the requested check operation could not be performed
because the filesystem is mounted and does not support an online
.BR fsck (8).
A status code of 1 is used for other failures.
.
.SH EXAMPLES
.
Resize the filesystem on logical volume \fI/dev/vg/test\fP to 1000 megabytes.
If \fI/dev/vg/test\fP contains ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem it will be unmounted prior the resize.
All [y/n] questions will be answered 'y'.
.sp
.B fsadm -e -y resize /dev/vg/test 1000M
.
.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
.
.TP
.B "TMPDIR   "
The temporary directory name for mount points. Defaults to "\fI/tmp\fP".
.TP
.B DM_DEV_DIR
The device directory name.
Defaults to "\fI/dev\fP" and must be an absolute path.

man-generator/man/help: simplify hyphen escaping Commits a29bb6a14b5e920092495fb9a1623e527d22daac ... 5c199d99f4dc9911d62673baba7643ea649ffe64 narrowed down on addressing the escaping of hyphens in the dynamic creation of manuals whilst avoiding them in creating help texts. This lead to a sequence of slipping through hyphens adrressed by additional patches in aforementioned commit series. On the other hand, postprocessing dynamically man-generator created and statically provided manuals catches all hyphens in need of escaping. Changes: - revert the above commits whilst keeping man-generator streamlining and the detection of any '\' when generating help texts in order to avoid escapes to slip in - Dynamically escape hyphens in manaual pages using sed(1) in the respective Makefile targets - remove any manually added escaping on hyphens from any static manual sources or headers 2017-03-27 17:45:48 +03:00			`.BR -e \| --ext-offline`
