NAME

       doschk - checks filenames for SYSV and DOS compatibility

SYNOPSIS

       doschk filename ...

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  is  intended  as  a  utility to help software developers
       ensure that their source file names are distinguishable on  MS-DOS  and
       14-character SYSV platforms.  To perform this task, doschk reads a list
       of filenames and produces a report of  all  the  conflicts  that  would
       arise if the files were transferred to a MS-DOS or SYSV platform.

       To  use  this  program,  you  must  feed it a list of filenames in this
       format:

            dir

            dir/file1.ext

            dir/file2.exe

            dir/dir2

            dir/dir2/file3.ext

       If the list does not include the directory-only lines  (like  dir/dir2)
       then their names will not be checked for uniqueness, else they will be.
       Typical uses of this program are like these:

            find . -print | doschk

            tar tf file.tar | doschk

       If this program produces no output, then  all  your  files  are  MS-DOS
       compatible.   Any  output  messages are designed to be self-explanatory
       and indicate cases where the files will not transfer to MS-DOS  without
       problems.
