What Does Each Option Do?

The display or print options (those prefixed with the letter p) are identical in function to the -c options, except that the -p options display additional information about the data that is being checked as the oncheck utility executes. You cannot combine oncheck option flags except as the following paragraphs describe.

In general, the -c options check for consistency and display a message on the screen only if they find an error or inconsistency.

Any user can execute the check options. On UNIX™ platforms, you must be user informix or root to display database data or initiate repair options. On Windows™, you must be a member of the Informix-Admin group to display database data or initiate repair options.

oncheck Options and Their Function associates oncheck options with their function. It also shows the SQL administration API command strings that are equivalent to the oncheck -c options.
