.SH DESCRIPTION
.TP
.BR \-a | \-\-analyze
Analyze distribution of keys. Will make some joins in
MySQL faster.
.TP
.BR \-# | \-\-debug=...
Output debug log. Often this is 'd:t:o ,filename`
.TP
.BR \-\-character\-sets\-dir=...
Directory where character sets are
.TP
.BR \-C | \-\-default\-character\-set=...
Set the default character set
.TP
.BR \-d | \-\-description
Prints some information about table.
.TP
.BR \-e | \-\-extend\-check
Check the table VERY thoroughly. One need use this
only in extreme cases as isamchk should normally find
all errors even without this switch
.TP
.BR \-f | \-\-force
Overwrite old temporary files.
If one uses \-f when checking tables (running isamchk
without \-r), isamchk will automatically restart with
\-r on any wrong table.
.TP
.BR \-? | \-\-help
Display help and exit.
.TP
.BR \-i | \-\-information
Print statistics information about the table
.TP
.BR \-k | \-\-keys\-used=#
Used with '\-r'. Tell ISAM to update only the first
# keys. This can be used to get faster inserts!
.TP
.BR \-l | \-\-no\-symlinks
Do not follow symbolic links when repairing. Normally
isamchk repairs the table a symlink points at.
.TP
.BR \-q | \-\-quick
Used with \-r to get a faster repair. (The data file
isn't touched.) One can give a second '\-q' to force
isamchk to modify the original datafile.
.TP
.BR \-r | \-\-recover
Can fix almost anything except unique keys that aren't
unique.
.TP
.BR \-o | \-\-safe\-recover
Uses old recovery method; slower than '\-r' but can
handle a couple of cases that '\-r' cannot handle.
.TP
.BR \-O | " \-\-set\-variable var=option "
Change the value of a variable.
.TP
.BR \-s | \-\-silent
Only print errors. One can use two \-s to make isamchk
very silent
.TP
.BR \-S | \-\-sort\-index
Sort index blocks. This speeds up 'read\-next' in
applications
.TP
.BR \-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!)
.TP
.BR \-u | \-\-unpack
Unpack file packed with pack_isam.
.TP
.BR \-v | \-\-verbose
Print more information. This can be used with
\-d and \-e. Use many \-v for more verbosity!
.TP
.BR \-V | \-\-version
Print version and exit.
.TP
.BR \-w | \-\-wait
Wait if table is locked.
