NAME
     blobadm - display statistical information; check,  compress,
     and configure a well-known or specified blobfile.

SYNOPSIS
     blobadm  [options] -A | -B | -C | -D domainname | -E | -R | -F filename _
| -L

DESCRIPTION
     The blobadm command displays  information  for  a  specified
     blobfile.  It also can be used to check a blobfile, grow the
     data portion of a blobfile, compress and remove  extra  free
     space of a blobfile, or to update key information.

     To understand the displayed information, the  pages  at  the
     head  of  the blobfile contain control information, followed
     by the free block map, up to three hash tables, and the  key
     table.

     This is followed by the data portion of a  file  which  con-
     sists  of  a  configurable  number  of pages. Each page is 4
     KBytes and consists of 32 fragments, each 128 bytes.

     The well-known blobfiles are the ACL store, the Share store,
     the BUILTIN accounts store, the change log, domain SAM data-
     base, the LSA store, and the Registry store.

OPTIONS
  -A
     Displays information about the ACL store.

  -B

  -C

  -D domainname

  -L
     Displays information about the LSA store.

  -R
     Displays information about the Registry store.

     The following are valid options and may be specified for any
     of  the  blobfiles.  If  no  options are specified, the file
     statistics are displayed by default.

  -b
     Dumps a map of the fragments in use from the data portion of
     the  blobfile.  The  offset  of  each page and the status of
     individual fragments within the page is denoted by an  x  in
     the corresponding field.

  -c
     Checks the blobfile.

  -d #

  -s
     Dumps a summary of blobfile statistics.

  -S
     Displays the number of records in  use  and  the  amount  of
