Description

I found myself wishing checkfs had some examples in the help/default output to give me an idea exactly what it wanted for the given parameters, so I wrote a little patch to give 2 examples. One for each of the 2 ways you can specify which device or volume you wish to check.

These are based on the code from hrev47509

The original output looks like this;

Usage: checkfs <options> <device|volume name>
 
Options:
  -h, --help        - print this help text
  -c, --check-only  - do not make any changes to the file system

I added 2 examples below that to show what we're looking for...

Usage: checkfs <options> <device|volume name>
 
Options:
  -h, --help        - print this help text
  -c, --check-only  - do not make any changes to the file system

Examples:
  checkfs -c /Haiku
  checkfs /dev/disk/ata/0/master/raw

I'm attaching the patch.

Actually I'm going to make an additional change (tab aligning the option descriptions) and then submit a proper patch following the guidelines as per https://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/SubmittingPatches
