information such as the file system block size.
.Pp
The following flags are interpreted by
.Nm dumplfs .
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl a
Dump the contents of all superblocks, not just the first.  Superblocks
appear in the dumplfs output with the segment containing them.
.It Fl b
Use the block specified immediately after the flag as the super block for the
filesystem.
.It Fl d
Check partial segment data checksums and report mismatches.  This makes
.Nm
operate much more slowly.
.It Fl I
Use the block specified immediately after the flag as the inode block
containing the index file inode.
.It Fl i
Dump information about the inode free list.
.It Fl S
Dump information about the segment table.
.It Fl s
Add the segment number immediately following the flag to a list of segments to
dump.  This flag may be specified more than once to dump more than one segment.
The default is to dump all segments.
