NAME
       clri - Clears i-nodes

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/clri filesystemi-number...

DESCRIPTION
       The clri command is obsoleted for normal file system repair work by the
       fsck command.

       The clri command writes zeros on the i-nodes with the decimal i-numbers
       on  the	specified  filesystem.	 After clri has finished its work, any
       blocks in the affected file are	defined	 as  "missing"	when  you  run
       icheck on the filesystem.

       Read  and  write	 permission  is	 required on the specified file system
       device.	The i-node becomes allocatable.

       The primary purpose of this routine is to remove a file which does  not
       appear  in  any	directory.  If you use the command to remove an i-node
       which does appear in a directory, take care to track down the entry and
       remove it.  Otherwise, when the i-node is reallocated to some new file,
       the old entry will still point to that file. If you then remove the old
       entry,  you  will  destroy  the	new file, and the new entry will again
       point to an unallocated i-node. Consequently, the entire cycle  repeats
       itself.	#ifdef NON_SEC_PRIV

       You must	 be root to use this command.  #endif

       If the file is open, clri is likely to be ineffective.
