innochecksum \- offline InnoDB file checksum utility

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBinnochecksum\fR
prints checksums for
InnoDB
files\&. This tool reads an
InnoDB
tablespace file, calculates the checksum for each page, compares the calculated checksum to the stored checksum, and reports mismatches, which indicate damaged pages\&. It was originally developed to speed up verifying the integrity of tablespace files after power outages but can also be used after file copies\&. Because checksum mismatches will cause
InnoDB
to deliberately shut down a running server, it can be preferable to use this tool rather than waiting for a server in production usage to encounter the damaged pages\&.
.PP
\fBinnochecksum\fR
cannot be used on tablespace files that the server already has open\&. For such files, you should use
CHECK TABLE
to check tables within the tablespace\&.
.PP
If checksum mismatches are found, you would normally restore the tablespace from backup or start the server and attempt to use
\fBmysqldump\fR
to make a backup of the tables within the tablespace\&.
