NAME

     repair_packages -- verify or repair filesystem permissions and flags for packages.

SYNOPSIS

     repair_packages [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

     repair_packages is used by Disk Utility to verify or repair permissions on installed packages.

ARGUMENTS

     --volume	   Perform all operations on the specified volume or home directory.  The root volume '/' will be used if unspecified.

     --list-standard-pkgs
		   Output the list of package-id strings corresponding to receipts in the installer's receipt database that will be verified or
		   repaired by the --standard-pkgs flag.

     --verify	   Verify the specified package(s).

     --repair	   Repair the specified package(s).

     --pkg package-id
		   Add the specified package to the list of packages to verify or repair.

     --standard-pkgs
		   Add the standard packages to the list of packages to verify or repair.  Use --list-standard-pkgs to view this list.

     disk and verify or repair permissions with the repair_packages version on that disk.
