NAME
     ccllrrii - clear an inode

SYNOPSIS
     ccllrrii specialdevice inodenumber ...

DESCRIPTION
     CCllrrii iiss oobbssoolleetteedd ffoorr nnoorrmmaall ffiillee ssyysstteemm rreeppaaiirr wwoorrkk bbyy fsck(88)..

     CCllrrii zeros out the inodes with the specified inode number(s) on the
     filesystem residing on the given specialdevice.  The fsck(8) utility is
     usually run after ccllrrii to reclaim the zero'ed inode(s) and the blocks
     previously claimed by those inode(s).  Both read and write permission are
     required on the specified specialdevice.

     The primary purpose of this routine is to remove a file which for some
     reason is not being properly handled by fsck(8).  Once removed, it is
     anticipated that fsck(8) will be able to clean up the resulting mess.

SEE ALSO
     fsck(8), fsdb(8), icheck(8), ncheck(8)

BUGS
     If the file is open, the work of ccllrrii will be lost when the inode is
     written back to disk from the inode cache.
