# ftl\_check(8)

Flash Translation Layer format checker

## NAME

ftl\_check - Flash Translation Layer format checker

## SYNOPSIS

**ftl\_check** *device*

## DESCRIPTION

**Ftl\_check** dumps a lot of bookkeeping information for a Flash Translation Layer partition.  It needs to access the flash partition's raw character-mode device (such as */dev/mem0c0c*). It cannot actually fix formatting problems.
