+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBinnochecksum\fR
+prints checksums for
+InnoDB
+files\&. This tool reads an
+InnoDB
+tablespace file, calculates the checksum for each page, compares the calculated checksum to the stored checksum, and reports mismatches, which indicate damaged pages\&. It was originally developed to speed up verifying the integrity of tablespace files after power outages but can also be used after file copies\&. Because checksum mismatches will cause
+InnoDB
+to deliberately shut down a running server, it can be preferable to use this tool rather than waiting for a server in production usage to encounter the damaged pages\&.
+.PP
+\fBinnochecksum\fR
+cannot be used on tablespace files that the server already has open\&. For such files, you should use
+CHECK TABLE
+to check tables within the tablespace\&.
+.PP
+If checksum mismatches are found, you would normally restore the tablespace from backup or start the server and attempt to use
+\fBmysqldump\fR
+to make a backup of the tables within the tablespace\&.
+.PP
+Invoke
+\fBinnochecksum\fR
+like this:
