Items in this "skeleton" structure have on them the extended attributes of the originals. Recreations of local snapshots are also captured in the same manner. The tmdiagnose tool will run the Spotlight diagnostic tool mddiagnose automatically, if it is available. What tmdiagnose Doesn't Collect: o No user files are harvested from within backups o No authentication credentials are harvested from the system o No authentication credentials are harvested for reachable AirPort and Time Capsule devices OPTIONS
-h Print full usage. -d sec Delay the start of the diagnostic by sec seconds. The system alert sound will play two times when the diagnostic begins. -f path Write the diagnostic to the specified path. -m Gather memory diagnostics for backupd, mtmd, mtmfs, and Finder. -r Do not reveal the diagnostic in Finder when finished. EXIT STATUS
tmdiagnose exits with status 0 if there were no internal errors encountered during the diagnostic, or >0 when an error unrelated to external state occurs or unusable input is provided by the user. Mac OS X 6 September 2011 Mac OS X
