44.Nm Fsdb
45opens
46.Ar fsname
47(usually a raw disk partition) and runs a command loop
48allowing manipulation of the file system's inode data. You are prompted
49to enter a command with
50.Ic "fsdb (inum X)>"
51where
52.Va X
53is the currently selected i-number. The initial selected inode is the
54root of the filesystem (i-number 2).
55The command processor uses the
56.Xr editline 3
57library, so you can use command line editing to reduce typing if desired.
58When you exit the command loop, the file system superblock is marked
59dirty and any buffered blocks are written to the file system.

103the root inode should be used to start the lookup. If some component
104along the pathname is not found, the last valid directory encountered is
